Major Cities Along the Route

Eventually, I-73 is supposed to stretch from Michigan to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, once construction is complete. In South Carolina, the highway will be parallel to United States Highway 501 and United States Highway 1. In North Carolina, I-73 replaces United States Highway 1 around Rockingham, North Carolina, United States Highway 220 between Rockingham and Greensboro, NC 68 around Greensboro, and United States Highway 220 between Greensboro and the border with Virginia. In Virginia, I-73 will replace United States Highway 220 between the border with North Carolina and Roanoke, Virginia at I-81, overlap a part of I-81, and replace United States Highway 460 along a proposed "smart road".
In West Virginia, I-73 will follow United States Highway 52 between Bluefield, West Virginia and Huntington, West Virginia along the proposed King Coal Expressway. In Ohio, I-73 will parallel United States Highway 52 between Huntington, West Virginia and Portsmouth, Ohio and United States Highway 23 between Portsmouth, Ohio and Toledo, Ohio via Columbus, Ohio. Finally, in Michigan, I-73 will replace United States Highway 223 and United States Highway 127 via Adrian, Michigan, Jackson, Michigan, Lansing, Michigan, Mount Pleasant, Michigan, and Grayling, Michigan, where the highway will end.
Originally, I-73 was to start at Charleston, South Carolina.
