Several special routes of U.S. Route 220 exist. In order from south to north they are as follows.

U.S. Route 220 Alternate (US 220 Alt), established in 1979, is an 27.5-mile (44.3 km) route that follows the old US 220 route through Candor, Biscoe and Star. In 1997, it was extended further north through Seagrove to its current terminus near Ulah. In 2008, the US 220 Alt was temporary extended south 7.9-mile (12.7 km) to NC 73, while mainline US 220 was on new freeway filling in for Future I-73/I-74; In 2013, mainline US 220 was moved back on that section. Predominantly a two-lane rural highway, it begins at exit 41 interchange from I-73/I-74/US 220 and ends at US 220 Bus, just 200 feet (61 m) from exit 68.
