US 421 in Wilmington
I‑40 in Wilmington
U.S. Route 117 is a north–south United States highway that runs for 114 miles (183 km) from Wilmington to Wilson, entirely in the U.S. state of North Carolina.
US 117 begins at the Port of Wilmington. Going east, it overlaps with SR 132 at College Street, then proceeds north. At the intersection of Kings Grant Road, I-40 begins; it has a brief concurrency before exiting off at exit 420. From this point, US 117 parallels I-40 on a mostly two-lane road, going through the towns of Burgaw, Wallace and Warsaw. At Calypso, it highway expands to 4-lane; this is also where a rare connector route is located going back to I-40.
