North Carolina Highway 280 (NC 280) is a state highway in western North Carolina that runs from the city of Brevard in Transylvania County to the town of Fletcher in Henderson County. It is 18 miles (29 km) in length, starting at the intersection with U.S. Route 64 (US 64) and US 276 north of Brevard to US 25 and US 25A in the Asheville community of Arden.
NC 280 begins at the junction of US 64 and US 276 near the city of Brevard. It then travels northeasterly through the unincorporated community of Pisgah Forest as a four-lane highway before crossing Little Mountain and entering the Boyd Township community, where it widens to four-lanes with a center turning lane. It runs for a total of 5.2 miles (8.4 km) through Transylvania County as Asheville Highway before entering Henderson County at which point it becomes Boylston Highway. It continues as a four-lane highway with a center turning lane for 6.1 miles (9.8 km) through rural northwestern Henderson County before intersecting NC 191 (Haywood Road) in the town of Mills River. NC 280 and NC 191 run concurrently for 1.1 miles (1.8 km). After crossing the Mills River, a tributary of the French Broad River, NC 191 turns north onto Old Haywood Road, and NC 280 continues as a divided 4-lane, limited-access road for three miles (4.8 km).
