The Hampstead Bypass, likely to be designated as U.S. Highway 17 Bypass (US 17 Byp.), is a planned route in the U.S. state of North Carolina, serving as a bypass of Ogden and Hampstead. It will consist of two sections which meet at North Carolina Highway 140 (NC 140): a limited-access extension of Military Cutoff Road, temporarily designated as North Carolina Highway 417 (NC 417), and a controlled-access portion that will serve as a bypass of Hampstead. The Military Cutoff Road extension began construction in 2017 and opened to traffic on September 28, 2023.[1][2][3] Construction on the first portion of the Hampstead Bypass began on March 11, 2022 and is expected to be completed in 2026. Construction on the second portion is expected to begin soon after and be completed in 2030.[4][5]
