State Route 345

North Carolina Highway 345 comprises a 4.7-mile long route on Roanoke Island, linking U.S. 64 at Manteo with Wanchese and Mill Landing. Speed limits range between 35 and 55 miles per hour along the two lane highway.

Before the extensions of U.S. 64 east across Croatan Sound was completed, NC 345 continued to the north end of Roanoke Island to Fort Raleigh National Historic Site. A remnant of the former alignment is Old NC 345 branching north from U.S. 64 Business just outside the park.

According to a USGS Topographic map, NC 345 may have followed Old Wharf Road west from Mill Landing Road to end on the Croatan Soundside of Roanoke Island.
