US 1
The Fall Line Route more commonly known as United
States Highway One. In North Carolina, US 1 runs along the eastern
edge of the Piedmont and into the Sandhills. Over the past 80 years,
US 1 has gone from a two lane road that connected most os the many towns
along the Fall Line to the State Capital in Raleigh and points north and
south to almost a completely four lane (or more) highway racing through
Tobacco Road. There are a few bannered remnants of the old route
signed today. Business Routes in Henderson and Sanford along with
Alternate Routes in Franklinton and Wake Forest to Youngsville keep US
1 tied to the small towns and cities that this highway was once a Main
Street through.

In a chute of trees just north of Interstate 85 is the Northern Terminus
of US 1 in the Tar Heel State.

Less than a mile south of the VA State line is I-85 and the Northern Terminus
of US 401.
North Carolina Southern Terminus: NC/SC Line south of
Everetts Mill, NC
(JP Natsiatka)
Just like the Northern State Line crossing, the Southern NC Terminus of
US 1 is a sleepy two lane crossing which is a contrast of US 1 throughout
most of the state. US 1 from Rockingham to the South Carolina State
Line is part of the I-73
Corridor.
