===North Carolina=== <!-- keep short and sweet --> {{Main|Interstate 85 in North Carolina}} [[File:I40i85NC.jpg|thumb|right|I-40/I-85 through Burlington]] In North Carolina, I-85 enters a relatively rural area near Kings Mountain before entering the Gastonia and Charlotte areas. In Charlotte, I-85 bypasses [[Charlotte Douglas International Airport]] and turns northeastward just before reaching [[Uptown Charlotte]]; thus, I-85 just bypasses uptown to the north where it junctions with [[Interstate 77|I-77]]. North of Charlotte, the highway passes near [[Concord, North Carolina|Concord]], [[Salisbury, North Carolina|Salisbury]], [[Lexington, North Carolina|Lexington]], and [[High Point, North Carolina|High Point]] before reaching [[Greensboro, North Carolina|Greensboro]]. At Greensboro, I-85 shifts away from downtown I-85 Bus (old I-85 through town). I-85 then joins I-40 east of downtown, and the two highways are cosigned as they pass through [[Burlington, North Carolina|Burlington]], [[Graham, North Carolina|Graham]], and [[Mebane, North Carolina|Mebane]] then separate near [[Hillsborough, North Carolina|Hillsborough]] where [[Interstate 40|I-40]] turns toward [[Chapel Hill, North Carolina|Chapel Hill]], [[Cary, North Carolina|Cary]], and [[Raleigh, North Carolina|Raleigh]]. After the split with I-40, I-85 continues to [[Durham, North Carolina|Durham]], before turning northeastward through [[Oxford, North Carolina|Oxford]] then [[Henderson, North Carolina|Henderson]] toward [[Virginia]].
