Route description
editNC 610 is a connector route that establishes a link between Main Street (formerly US 311) and NC 62 near the downtown area of Archdale. The highway begins along a commercial area of Main Street, approximately 1 mile north of the center of Archdale. The highway runs east along Fairfield Road, through a residential area of southern High Point. In addition to multiple houses, the highway passes by a Prep Academy, along with several small businesses and a Wesleyan Church.[citation needed] NC 610 ends at an intersection with NC 62 (Liberty Road) and Aldridge Road, near I-85.[1]
The highway provides indirect access between High Point and Interstate 85/Interstate 74.[citation needed]
History
editNC 610 was established in 1930 as a connector route running from US 311/NC 77 to its parent route NC 61, following its present-day routing.[2] its routing has remained unchanged since.[citation needed] By 1940, NC 61 was replaced with NC 62 forming the current eastern terminus of the highway.[3] On September 8, 2011, US 311 was deleted along Main Street and placed along a new freeway concurrency with I-74.[4] This left the western terminus of NC 610 without an official highway designation.[citation needed]
Junction list
editThe entire route is in Guilford County.
