Route description

History

NC Highway 115 originally opened in 1930 running from the intersection of US 21 and US 64 in Statesville to the Wilkes-Iredell County line. By 1933, NC 115 was extended north to Old US 421/Speedway Rd, which was US 421 at the time. In 1941, was extended to the intersection of D Street and 10th Street in North Wilkesboro, which was then US 421 and NC 16. Around 1959, 115 got its first expansion to the south. NC 115 extended along US 21 and replaced 21 through Mooresville, Davidson, and Huntersville, ending at its current southern termini. Its most recent extension was between 1969 and 1982 when NC 115 was shortened by 1.0 mile (1.6 km) to its current northern termini at D Street with NC 18 and 268.[2]

gollark: Does it matter? In most contexts where you *need* to know if something is "alive" there's probably a more specific definition which categorises them better.
gollark: Apparently old pacemakers ran on small RTGs, but people are too uncool to do that nowadays I think.
gollark: > I wonder if it would be possible to engineer a contagious bacteria with rapid reproductive rates to produce a fast acting psychoactive compound when undergoing cellular division, similar to how cholera produces cholera toxin. It would be an interesting non lethal bio weapon that could incapacitate enemy forces in a few hoursIt seems like it's getting cheaper and easier for people to genetically engineer bacteria and stuff, so I worry that within a few decades it will be easy enough that people will just do this sort of thing for funlolz.
gollark: I think I remember this being discussed before? Spirit complained about it.
gollark: Talking about where to get them might be, or at least might cause them to complain.
