North Carolina Highway 10 (NC 10) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of North Carolina. Originally established as the state's central highway, from Murphy to Beaufort. Nowadays, it serves to connect the city of Newton with the nearby communities and towns in the foothills region.
NC 10's eastern terminus is at Interstate 40 (exit 138) in Catawba County, just southwest of Statesville and just northeast from Claremont. From this point, NC 10 travels in a southerly (signed west) direction as Oxford School Road, crossing US 70 and entering the town of Catawba. As Main Street, NC 10 travels through the heart of the town and turns right on Second Avenue. Exiting the town to the southwest, NC 10 travels to the city of Newton where it merges with NC 16 for a short while and takes the name of D Street, and later C Street. After leaving Newton, NC 10 has an interchange with the US 321 freeway and meets a terminus of NC 127 before crossing the county line.
After NC 10 enters Lincoln County, it meets NC 18 in the community of Laurel Hill. NC 18 and NC 10 are concurrent for about a one-mile (1.6 km) stretch before NC 10 splits in a westerly direction. The route then crosses another county line.
