Information About

Nc 24





NORTHERN TERMINUS

In March 2003, The state DOT rerouted the end of NC 24 from US 74 to Interstate 77 (Exit 19). This was facilitated by following Harris Boulevard in east Charlotte instead of following NC 27 . This added nearly 15 miles onto the highway length.

Before this rerouting, NC 24 was extraneous west of Johnsonville . It was multiplexed with NC 27 over its entire length to its terminus at U.S. 74, at which point NC 27 continued while NC 24 did not.


SOUTHERN TERMINUS

NC 24 does end at US 70 in Morehead City, North Carolina . This is nearly the Atlantic Ocean, making NC 24 nearly 150 miles in length.
