Route description

NC 14 begins at Exit 153 of US 29 Bypass east of Reidsville, along US 158. The two routes travel in a northwestern direction through woodland and enter the town after interchanging with East Market Street and passing under a railroad grade. The route then crosses US 29 Business, where US 158 leaves the route to the west, following US 29 Business. NC 14 then exits the town after passing through a small commercial strip, entering a mix of woods, homes, and farmland. After a long, straight stretch, the route intersects US 311, NC 87 and NC 770 (Harrington Highway) just before it crosses the Dan River and enters Eden. This is the northern terminus of US 311, but NC 87 and NC 770 both join NC 14 at this intersection.

NC 14 and NC 87 pass through southern Eden as Van Buren Road along a commercial strip. It interchanges with West Meadow Road is a partial cloverleaf interchange, where NC 770 exits off east and NC700 begins east. NC 14 and NC 87 curve to the west, intersecting many of the town's streets and paralleling the stream. NC 14 ends after Old Ridgeway Road, just .2 miles (0.32 km) from the Virginia state line. Here NC 87 becomes VA 87 and continues on to Ridgeway, Virginia, south of Martinsville.[2]

History

The original NC 14 was renumbered to NC 86 in the 1940 renumbering that matched North Carolina route numbers to those of Virginia. NC 65 was renumbered to NC 14 concurrently with that change.[3]

In 1968, most of NC 14 was rebuilt as a new roadway, though it still connected Reidsville with Eden.[3]
