The N.C. Expressway 101, or simply the Expressway 101, was an 8 lanes freeway project that has been replaced by the Interstate 201 project in June 2010 following the NC9 freeway renumbering. The freeway has been under construction until the replacement and followed the first portion of the 201 built prior to June 2010 which followed the city's west boundaries to then curve and join Neophyx's downtown via the first version of the Trans-Michigan-Tunnel that was crossing the Michigan river to join the downtown of Neophyx directly. It was to be the 3rd of the Neophyx city-level expressway system to be built. This mega project was a part of the NC9 urbanism plan. Alternative names for the Expressway 101 before its construction were I-390, Expressway 2, 4 and also 1 in case the current expwy 1 would have been renumbered as Expressway 3, which it finally did, also caused by the renumbering on June 11th 2010.
History
On October 10th 2007, pannels of pavement were placed under the terrain to trace exactly where a possible new wide freeway would pass. Those pannels remained forgotten for a year until Nyxboy decided to groundbreak the project on October 24th 2008.
On May 16th 2009, the installation of a new tunnel linking the Hamilton Bridge to the 101 permitted a portion of the freeway to become operational for traffic coming from the Hamilton bridge towards the Transamerica via the 101.
On May 14th 2010, two thirds of the eastbound side of the freeway opened from the Transamerica freeway(I290) to the west shore of Neophyx peninsula. This opening also marked the opening of a section of the new Trans-Michigan-Tunnel. It was then possible to reach downtown via an opened portion of the new West Shore boulevard.
Project's modification and the 2010 renumbering.
On June 11th of 2010, the NC9 freeway renumbering caused the 101 project to be transferred to become the Interstate 201 project, causing the Expressway 101 to become an auxiliary Interstate.
