===North Carolina=== {{Main|Interstate 77 in North Carolina}} [[File:I-77-US21-Woodlawn-BillyGraham-OverheadSign.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Woodlawn Road and Billy Graham Parkway overhead sign in Charlotte, North Carolina]] I-77 through North Carolina begins at the South Carolina state line at [[Pineville, North Carolina|Pineville]]. It narrows to six lanes on the North Carolina side south of [[Charlotte, North Carolina|Charlotte]] and then widens to 8 and 10 lanes through downtown before entering the North Carolina [[Piedmont (United States)|Piedmont]] region. In Charlotte, it intersects [[Interstate 85|I-85]] as well as intersecting each of the loops of [[Interstate 485|I-485]] and [[Interstate 277 (North Carolina)|I-277]] (twice). North of Charlotte, it skirts [[Lake Norman]] where it narrows again to four lanes before passing through [[Huntersville, North Carolina|Huntersville]], [[Cornelius, North Carolina|Cornelius]], [[Davidson, North Carolina|Davidson]], and [[Mooresville, North Carolina|Mooresville]]. At [[Statesville, North Carolina|Statesville]], {{Convert|40|mi|km}} north of I-85, it intersects [[Interstate 40|I-40]] and [[U.S. Route 70|US 70]]. Next, it crosses over [[U.S. Route 421|US 421]] in [[Yadkin County, North Carolina|Yadkin County]] and continues on through [[Elkin, North Carolina|Elkin]]. The final intersection in the state is with a discontinuous section of [[Interstate 74|I-74]] near [[Mount Airy, North Carolina|Mount Airy]]. I-77 in Charlotte is also known as the Bill Lee Freeway; this designation stretches from exit 6 (South Tryon Street/Woodlawn Road) in Charlotte to exit 33 (US 21 north), near Mooresville. A {{Convert|6|mi|km|adj=on|spell=in}} portion south of the city is called the General Younts Expressway. When I-77 crosses over I-85 (which runs in an east–west direction through the interchange), the northbound lanes are to the west of the southbound lanes. North Carolina completed its section of I-77 in 1975.
