North Carolina Highway 770 (NC 770) is a 32-mile-long (51 km) state highway running through rural North Carolina and Eden. The road travels from NC 704 near Sandy Ridge to the Virginia state line southwest of Danville. NC 770 runs along a concurrency from Eden to the eastern terminus with U.S. Route 311 (US 311). Most of the road is two lanes wide. NC 770 is one of the few North Carolina state highways numbered in the 700s.
NC 770 begins at NC 704 near Sandy Ridge. The road begins to head to the east from the intersections along a two lane road. The road continues through a very rural area of Stokes County passing by many farms. The road curves around the foothills of North Carolina until reaching the Stoneville area. It crosses over the Mayo River and has an interchange with US 220 before entering downtown Stoneville. NC 770 passes through Stoneville along Main Street. After leaving Stoneville the road continues through rural Rockingham County before reaching the community of Providence. Shortly before the highway enters Eden it turns to the left along a bypass that bypasses the downtown area of Eden to the south. NC 770 forms a concurrency with US 311 before they cross over the Dan River.
