Interstate 295 (abbreviated I-295) when fully completed will be a 35 mile (56.5 km) loop around the west side of Fayetteville built to help relieve congestion through that city and to provide direct access from the Fort Bragg Military Reservation to I-95. I-295 is also known as the Fayetteville Outer Loop. Currently 7 miles of the roadway are open from Interstate 95 to U.S. Highway 401.The I-295 designation was approved by AASHTO in May 2005 following up upon earlier approval by the FHWA. Future I-295 signs were put up along the route when the section between I-95 and River Road opened in July 2005. The first section opened, in June 2003, ran only from River Road to US 401. At that time the road had no route shields. The only mention of a number was on street signs at the ramps, which said "I-295" (with an additional "FUTURE" on some). The route will be signed as a full interstate once parts of the highway (the bridge crossing the Cape Fear River and the interchange with I-95) are brought up to interstate standards. Construction on the next section of the Outer Loop, from US 401 to the All-American Freeway, is scheduled to start towards the end of this year and be completed by 2012 though the entire route south to I-95 near St. Pauls may not be completed until 2015 or 2020. The interchanges along the opened section of the route are for US 13 and I-95, River Road and US 401. There are no exit numbers along the route at this time.The Loop has had a variety of proposed numerical designations. Its first proposed Interstate designation, rejected by AASHTO in 2003, was I-195. Other earlier designations have included extensions of US 13 (in newspaper articles) or NC 24 (in the state TIP). It also has been shown as NC 13 on the 2004 and 2005 NCDOT maps.
