North Carolina Highway 59 (NC 59) is a North Carolina state highway that runs through Cumberland County from Interstate 95 (I-95) near Hope Mills to U.S. Route 401 Business (US 401 Bus.) in Owens, within the city limits of Fayetteville.
NC 59 is an urban route southwest of Fayetteville. NC 59 begins at I-95 (exit 41) and proceeds north from there intersecting I-95 Bus. and U.S. Route 301 shortly thereafter at a partial cloverleaf interchange. NC 59 continues north entering the town of Hope Mills. NC 162 intersects the highway just north of downtown Hope Mills, as NC 59 continues north through the suburban parts of Fayetteville. NC 59 comes to its northern end at US 401 Bus. (Raeford Road)
NC 59 was first commissioned in 1932 as a new primary highway from US 1/NC 50 in Raleigh following present day US 401 to Louisburg and ending at US 158/NC 48 in Warrenton. In 1957, NC 59 was renumbered in its entirety by US 401.
