with SR 69. Between 1957 and 1960, SR 69 was decommissioned, while SR 17 stayed on this segment of highway right before SR 515 was signed and existed. North Carolina Highway 287 North Carolina Highway 287 (NC 287) was established in 1923 as a renumbering of part of NC 109. It traversed from the Georgia state line (along Myers Chapel Road) to NC 28 (Chatuga Dam Road), near Hayesville. In 1941, NC 287 was renumbered to NC 69. Future NCDOT plans to upgrade NC 69 into a divided four-lane expressway from the Georgia state line to US 64; which would complete a gap in Corridor A. In November 2019, NCDOT awarded a $46.3 million contract to Wright Brothers Construction for the expansion of NC 69. Widening is expected to be finished by March 2024.
