Route description

Wendover Avenue is divided into a "West" segment and an "East" segment.

West Wendover Avenue

Wendover Avenue's western terminus is at NC 68 in High Point. From this terminus, Wendover travels northeast out of High Point past "The Paladium", an extensive local shopping center. Continuing northeast as a 4-lane boulevard, Wendover passes a predominantly residential area. After passing an interchange with Guilford College Road and I-73 and crossing into Greensboro city limits, Wendover widens to an 6-8 lane boulevard and enters the city's busiest shopping district. Traffic jams are common along this stretch of road past. Wendover crosses I-40 in this area; Wendover Avenue is one of I-40's busiest exits in North Carolina.

Shortly after veering to the left at a fork with Clifton Road, Wendover becomes a 4-6 lane divided freeway with a speed limit of 45 mph. After passing exits for Spring Garden Road, Holden Road, Market Street, Wendover comes to partial interchanges with Friendly Avenue, Green Valley Road, and Benjamin Parkway, giving access to Friendly Center.

Continuing past the exit for Westover Terrace, the freeway comes to an interchange with Batteground Avenue and US 220, where the freeway downgrades back to a boulevard with many at-grade interchanges. US 220 then joins Wendover Avenue in an easterly direction (signed SOUTH 220) through northern Greensboro to a parclo interchange with US 29 and US 70 in northeast Greensboro. US 220 leaves Wendover here, heading south with US 29 SOUTH and US 70 WEST, but US 70 EAST joins Wendover here.

East Wendover Avenue

US 70 takes US 220's place, following Wendover Avenue east toward McLeansville. About 2.5 miles further, Burlington Road merges into US 70 and Wendover Avenue. At this point, East Wendover Avenue ends while US 70 continues east with Burlington Road. Shortly after this intersection, US 70 has an interchange with the Future Interstate 840 before going on to McLeansville and Burlington.
