Route description

edit
 
The B. Cameron Langston Bridge over Bogue Sound.

NC 58 begins from the visitor center parking lot at Fort Macon State Park—formerly County Road 1190—and begins heading west along Bogue Banks. It passes through Atlantic Beach, Pine Knoll Shores, Indian Beach, and Emerald Isle as it runs along the Bogue Banks as a main highway. Approaching the west end, the highway turns north and crosses on the Emerald Island Causeway. Running by Cedar Point, the highway intersects NC 24 and then heads toward the northwest as it passes by the White Oak River Mechanical Harvesting of Oysters Prohibited Area. The route then approaches Maysville and runs concurrent with US 17 heading north until reaching Pollocksville where NC 58 splits from US 17 heading west. The highway approaches Trenton and runs concurrent with NC 41 for about 2.9 miles (4.7 km). NC 58 then enters Kinston and runs concurrent with US 70 until reaching the intersection with US 258, where the route turns to the north and runs concurrent with US 70 Bus. and US 258 Bus., crossing over the Neuse River via Frederick Jones Bridge. Heading through downtown, the highway begins running concurrently with NC 11 until reaching the intersection with Vernon Avenue, where NC 58 splits from US 70 Bus., US 258 Bus. and NC 11. NC 11 heads east while the business routes head west.

The route then continues north after exiting Kingston and intersects NC 123 and US 258 before entering Snow Hill. It then runs concurrent with US 13 for about 1.3 miles (2.1 km). The highway then continues northwest and intersects and runs concurrent with NC 222 through Stantonsburg. It then interchanges with I-587 and US 264 and then runs concurrent with US 264 Alt. for 1.6 miles (2.6 km), intersecting NC 91 and US 301 before entering downtown Wilson. Exiting town, the highway intersects NC 42, a belt route around Wilson as it exits town. Heading north towards Nashville, NC 58 intersects NC 97 and crosses over Interstate 95 but does not have direct access to the freeway. As it enters Nashville, the route then runs concurrent with US 64 Bus. for 0.5 miles (0.80 km). It interchanges US 64 (future Interstate 87 corridor). The highway then continues north and passes through Castalia before intersecting the eastern terminus of NC 56.
