North Carolina Highway 73 (NC 73) is a state highway that extends for 118.54 miles (190.77 km) through south-central North Carolina in the United States. Most of the route is a two-lane highway that passes through both rural scenic areas; however, it also serves several small and moderate-sized cities in the state, including Concord and Albemarle. The western terminus of NC 73 is at an intersection with NC 27 east of Lincolnton and its eastern terminus is at a junction with US 15-501 in Eastwood (between Pinehurst and Carthage).
NC 73 begins at an intersection with NC 27 east of Lincolnton in Lincoln County. It heads eastward, passing to the south of Lincolnton-Lincoln County Regional Airport and intersecting NC 16. It passes into Mecklenburg County upon crossing over the Catawba River just below the Cowans Ford Dam at Lake Norman. The route heads along the lake shore to the vicinity of Huntersville, where it meets Interstate 77 an interchange near the NorthCross development. Past I-77, NC 73 passes through the northern part of Huntersville on its way into Cabarrus County.
