Route description
edit
NC 58 begins from the visitor center parking lot at Fort Macon State Park—formerly County Road 1190—and begins heading west along Bogue Banks. It passes through Atlantic Beach, Pine Knoll Shores, Indian Beach, and Emerald Isle as it runs along the Bogue Banks as a main highway. Approaching the west end, the highway turns north and crosses on the Emerald Island Causeway. Running by Cedar Point, the highway intersects NC 24 and then heads toward the northwest as it passes by the White Oak River Mechanical Harvesting of Oysters Prohibited Area. The route then approaches Maysville and runs concurrent with US 17 heading north until reaching Pollocksville where NC 58 splits from US 17 heading west. The highway approaches Trenton and runs concurrent with NC 41 for about 2.9 miles (4.7 km). NC 58 then enters Kinston and runs concurrent with US 70 until reaching the intersection with US 258, where the route turns to the north and runs concurrent with US 70 Bus. and US 258 Bus., crossing over the Neuse River via Frederick Jones Bridge. Heading through downtown, the highway begins running concurrently with NC 11 until reaching the intersection with Vernon Avenue, where NC 58 splits from US 70 Bus., US 258 Bus. and NC 11.
