Notes
- Eventually, I-73 is supposed to stretch from Michigan to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, once construction is complete. In South Carolina, the highway will be parallel to U.S. Highway 501 and U.S. Highway 1. In North Carolina, I-73 replaces US 1 around Rockingham, North Carolina, U.S. Highway 220 between Rockingham and Greensboro, NC 68 around Greensboro, and US 220 between Greensboro and the border with Virginia. In Virginia, I-73 will replace US 220 between the border with North Carolina and Roanoke, Virginia at I-81, overlap a part of I-81, and replace U.S. Highway 460 along a proposed "smart road".
- In West Virginia, I-73 will follow U.S. Highway 52 between Bluefield, West Virginia and Huntington, West Virginia along the proposed King Coal Expressway. In Ohio, I-73 will parallel US 52 between Huntington, West Virginia and Portsmouth, Ohio and U.S. Highway 23 between Portsmouth, Ohio and Toledo, Ohio via Columbus, Ohio. Finally, in Michigan, I-73 will replace U.S. Highway 223 and U.S. Highway 127 via Adrian, Michigan, Jackson, Michigan, Lansing, Michigan, Mount Pleasant, Michigan, and Grayling, Michigan, where the highway will end.
- Originally, I-73 was to start at Charleston, South Carolina.
