North Carolina Highway 14 (NC 14) is a 17.1-mile-long (27.5 km) North Carolina state highway entirely within Rockingham County. It links U.S. Routes 29 and 158 (US 29 / US 158) near Reidsville with the city of Eden. From Eden, it continues north concurrent with NC 87 to the Virginia state line where the road continues as Virginia State Route 87 (SR 87).
NC 14 begins at exit 153 of the US 29 freeway east of Reidsville. US 29 in this area is proposed to become part of Interstate 785. US 158 heads east from this point but NC 14 and US 158 travel in a northwestern direction through woodlands as a four-lane wide highway with a center turn lane. The road enters the city after a one-quadrant interchange with East Market Street and passing under a railroad. The route then crosses US 29 Business, where US 158 leaves the right of way to the west, following US 29 Business. NC 14 then exits the city after passing through a small commercial strip, entering a mix of woods, homes, and farmland. The road through here remains a five-lane roadway. Most junctions here are at-grade intersections though the northernmost junction with Bethlehem Church Road, an overpass carries the road over NC 14 with a single on-ramp to NC 14 southbound. After a long, straight stretch, the route intersects US 311, NC 87, and NC 770 (Harrington Highway) just before it crosses the Dan River and enters Eden.
