NC 97 

West End: Lizard Lick
East End: Hobgood


NC 97 was originally NC 95.  This designation changed with the birth of I-95 in the late 1950s.

The Western Terminus of NC 97 is at Business US 64 near Lizard Lick.  Business 64 East dips south to Wendell.  Bearing right at this odd intersection leads back to the mainline US 64, about 2 miles further west, and to Raleigh.  NC 97 from Lizard Lick to Zebulon was at one time US 64.

The 'END' sign for NC 97 as traffic from NC 97 West merges onto US Business 64 West.

This photo shows another look at the Western Terminus of NC 97 from US 64 Business East.  It is an interesting example of how a former fork in the road has turned into a signalized intersection.

The Eastern Terminus of NC 97 is at NC 122 in Hobgood.  NC 97's terminus is just shy of the Northern Terminus of NC 122, which would be behind the above photo.  There is not an 'END' sign present at this point.
