Excerpt: U.S. Route 64 is the longest numbered route in the U.S. state of North Carolina, running 604 miles (972 km) from the Tennessee state line to the Outer Banks. The route passes through the westernmost municipality in the state, Murphy, and one of the most easternmost municipalities, Manteo, making US 64 a symbolic representation of the phrase "from Murphy to Manteo" which is used to refer to the expanse on of the state. US 64 enters North Carolina in Cherokee County, west of Murphy. The highway serves the cities of Hendersonville, Brevard, Rutherfordton, Lenoir, Statesville, Lexington, Asheboro, Siler City, Raleigh, Rocky Mount, Tarboro, Williamston, and Manteo.

US 64 serves as a gateway to the Outer Banks, ending at Nags Head where it meets U.S. Route 158 and NC 12. US 64 is part of four scenic byways in the state (indicated by a Scenic Byways sign).

US 64 overlaps almost the entire route, except near Murphy, continues along Brasstown Road and Harshaw Road. This byway also connects to the Nantahala Byway (North of Murphy via US 19), Whitewater Way (NC 281 at Sapphire), and Forest Heritage Scenic Byway (N...
