NC 20 begins at its western terminus at [[North Carolina Highway 211|NC 211]] and runs concurrent with [[U.S. Route 401 Business (Raeford, North Carolina)|US 401 Bus.]] along Central Avenue for about {{convert|0.3|mi|km}} in [[Raeford, North Carolina|Raeford]]. The route then heads southeast as St. Pauls Drive, crossing over Peddlers Branch before exiting town. The route then passes through [[Dundarrach, North Carolina|Dundarrach]] before exiting [[Hoke County, North Carolina|Hoke County]]. In [[Lumber Bridge, North Carolina|Lumber Bridge]], NC 20 continues as Main Street and intersects [[North Carolina Highway 71|NC 71]] and then continues southeast, passing by [[Rex, North Carolina|Rex]].
NC 20 begins at its eastern terminus at [[NC 87]] in northwest [[Bladen County, NC|Bladen County]] near [[Tar Heel, NC|Tar Heel]] and the [[Cape Fear River]]. From there, the route travels in a westerly direction into [[Robeson County, NC|Robeson County]] and through the heart of [[St. Pauls, NC|St. Pauls]]. After crossing [[US 301]] (Fifth Street), NC 20 continues to an interchange with [[I-95]] (exit 31) at the edge of town.


After the interchange, NC 20 darts northwest through the town of [[Lumber Bridge, NC|Lumber Bridge]], where it crosses [[NC 71]] (Fayetteville Street). Crossing over the county line into [[Hoke County, North Carolina|Hoke County]], NC 20 heads northwest to meet with Business [[US 401]] (Central Avenue) in downtown [[Robeson, NC|Robeson]]. There, NC 20 joins Business US 401 for approximately 0.25 miles to end at [[NC 211]] (Main Street). <ref name="State Ends">[http://www.state-ends.com/ncends/state/20.html State Ends - NC 20]</ref>

North Carolina Highway 20 (NC 20) is a 27-mile (43 km) North Carolina state highway that runs through Hoke, Robeson and Bladen counties. It serves as a major road in each of the three incorporated communities through which it passes. The route is co-designated as St. Pauls Road in Raeford, Main Street in Lumber Bridge, and Broad Street in St. Pauls.

Route description

[edit]

NC 20 begins at its western terminus at NC 211 and runs concurrent with US 401 Bus. along Central Avenue for about 0.3 miles (0.48 km) in Raeford. The route then heads southeast as St. Pauls Drive, crossing over Peddlers Branch before exiting town. The route then passes through Dundarrach before exiting Hoke County. In Lumber Bridge, NC 20 continues as Main Street and intersects NC 71 and then continues southeast, passing by Rex.

The highway then interchanges I-95 and then intersects US 301 as it passes through St. Pauls as Broad Street. The route then enters Bladen County and reaches its eastern terminus at NC 87 north of Tar Heel.[3]

History

[edit]

The original NC 20 was at one time the longest numbered route in North Carolina, running from the Tennessee border to the port city of Wilmington, a distance of 401 miles (645 km). After the introduction of U.S. highways in North Carolina in 1934, the route was carved up between routes US 19, US 70, US 74, US 76, and US 17.[2]

The modern NC 20 was originally NC 220. Despite a few minor reroutings, the state highway has remained largely unchanged since the 1930s. The NC 220 designation was dropped permanently from the state highway system around 1935 after the introduction of US 220 into North Carolina.[4] With the possible extension of I-20 into North Carolina, this route may be renumbered again.[citation needed]
