U.S. 29

Home » Guides » North Carolina » U.S. 29

U.S. 29 parallels the I-85 corridor from the South Carolina state line through Charlotte, Concord and Salisbury. The two commingle across the Yadkin River to Lexington. Northeast from Lexington to Thomasville and High Point, U.S. 29 overlaps with Business Loop I-85 and U.S. 70. The 1950s expressway was originally designated as Temporary I-85.

U.S. 29 rejoins Interstate 85 briefly northeast from High Point to the Greensboro Urban Loop (I-73). U.S. 29 and Business Loop I-85 extends northeast into Greensboro, joining I-40 south of Downtown. U.S. 220 combines with U.S. 29 along I-40 to O'Henry Boulevard, an older freeway leading north to North Carolina A&T State University east of Downtown.

Traveling northeast from Greensboro to Danville, Virginia, U.S. 29 is part of Future I-785. The majority of the route is already a freeway, but not built to Interstate standards. This includes bypasses of Reidsville and Ruffin.
