North Carolina Highway 108 (NC 108) is a 22-mile-long (35 km) two lane highway in North Carolina. It connects U.S. Route 176 (US 176) in Tryon to Rutherfordton and passes through both Polk County and Rutherford County. It is a rural country road through eastern Polk County and western Rutherford County, and moderately developed from Tryon through Columbus and in Rutherfordton. It is also known as Lynn Road between Tryon and Columbus, Mills Street through Columbus, and Tryon Road in Rutherford County.
NC 108 begins at US 176 in Tryon and travels east through the unincorporated town of Lynn, where it crosses the Pacolet River. NC 108 has an interchange with Interstate 26 (I-26) and US 74 in Columbus, and another interchange with US 74 east of Columbus. NC 108 passes through the center of Columbus, the county seat of Polk County, which is the most developed portion of the route in Polk County. Three miles (4.8 km) east of the second US 74 interchange, NC 108 intersects NC 9 at the unincorporated town of Mill Spring. The section from Tryon to Mill Spring closely follows the front range of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It passes over the Green River in Polk County and the Broad River in Rutherford County. NC 108 ends at the intersection of South Main Street (carrying US 221 and US 74 Business west) and Charlotte Road (carrying US 74 Business east and US 221A) in Rutherfordton.
