North Carolina Highway 60 (NC 60) is a primary state highway in the extreme southwestern corner of North Carolina. The highway runs north–south from the Georgia state line to U.S. Route 64/U.S. Route 74 (US 64/US 74), near Ranger.
NC 60 is a continuation of SR 60 Spur. From the Georgia state line to US 64/US 74, the entire route is four-lane with a center turning lane throughout (though the road in Georgia is only two-lanes wide). It also serves to connect the community of Culberson, which lays close to the state line.
The first NC 60 was an original state highway, traveling from the Tennessee state line, near Zionville, to NC 40, in Castle Hayne. It served as a major route through the state, passing through Boone, Wilkesboro, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, Sanford and Clinton. In 1934, the route was decommissioned in favor of US 421.
