Future
A request has been made to extend US 311 through Eden to US 58 in Virginia. NCDOT has submitted an application to AASHTO for the extenstion and has requested VDOT to make SR 863 a primary route so it will qualify.
In Winston-Salem, a project called the "US 311 Connector" plans to extend a four-lane urban boulevard from I-40/US 311 interchange to I-40 Bus./US 421/NC 150 interchange with US 158 (Reidsville Road). The 2.8 miles (4.5 km) new route would include a landscaped medium and walking/bicycle trails parallel to it. Estimated in 2003 to cost $23.5 million, it is currently unfunded and scheduled for reprioritization.

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“The danger of the past was that men became slaves. The danger of the future is that men may become robots. True enough, robots do not rebel. But given man’s nature, robots cannot live and remain sane, they become “Golems,” they will destroy their world and themselves because they cannot stand any longer the boredom of a meaningless life.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
“I shall soon be six-and-twenty. Is there anything in the future that can possibly console us for not being always twenty-five?”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“As the mother of a son, I do not accept that alienation from me is necessary for his discovery of himself. As a woman, I will not cooperate in demeaning womanly things so that he can be proud to be a man. I like to think the women in my son’s future are counting on me.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
