Route description

NC 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. NC 610 ends at an intersection with NC 62 (Liberty Road) and Aldridge Road, near I-85.[1]

History

NC 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] 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.
