Route description
End of NC 138 at US 52

NC 138 is a two-lane rural highway that begins immediately after NC 742 begins in downtown Oakboro. Going east, it crosses over Long Creek, a tributary of the Rocky River, then proceeds northeast to Aquadale. After crossing a railroad track in Aquadale it goes north to end at U.S. Route 52 (US 52) just south of Albemarle.
