When originally established in the 1920s, the state highway system was highly organized: two-digit routes ending in "0" were major cross-state routes, other two digit routes were numbered as spurs off of the main route (that is, Highway 54 would have been a spur off of Highway 50) and lesser important routes were given three digit numbers by appending an extra "ones" digit to the two digit ...
If a new highway is established that would have the same number as a state highway, the state highway number usually changes. North Carolina grants exceptions to this rule in limited cases. Sometimes, as in NC 540/ I-540 ; the two routes are given the same number because they are seen as a continuous route.

Between 1956 and 1957, NC 84 was extended two blocks to Main Street, replacing part of US 74A to NC 200.

NCDOT says it will focus on reopening interstates and U.S. and state highways, and providing access to communities that have been cut off, before getting to state-maintained secondary roads.
