NC 148

Route
I 40 East, US 70 East, I 40 East, NC 210 West, NC 50 South, NC 55 East, US 70 East, US 70/258 West, US 258 North, NC 148 East, NC 58 South, NC 11/55 West, US 70 West, Washington Street, US 70 West, US 70 Business West, US 70 West, I 40 West  to Chapel Hill 
Notes
Having received a report that the extension of NC 148 to US 70 was complete, this trip was undertaken to check out the new highway. However, the report was in error. I did clinch some mileage and US Business routes and visited the CSS Neuse memorial, so the trip was not in vain.
NC 148 is not open between US 70 and US 258. The interchange at US 70 looks complete, but the interchange at US 258 is not complete.
There are some new bridges north of US 70 where Old US 70 ( Washington Street ) meets US 70 west of La Grange. 
Results
Clinched US 70 Business Goldsboro,  US 70/258 Business Kinston, NC 148. Mileage on US 258,  NC 11, 50, 55, 58.
