From Wikipedia:
U.S. Route 52 (US 52) is a north-south United States highway that runs for 150 miles (240 km) from the South Carolina state line, near McFarlan, to the Virginia state line, near Mount Airy. It serves as a strategic highway through the central North Carolina Piedmont. Because of its alignment in the state, US 52 does not follow the standard convention of an even U.S. route number going east-west.
Between the South Carolina border and Salisbury, the route is an at-grade road, varying in width from two to four lanes. It connects the town centers of a number of small towns in Anson, Stanly, Cabarrus, and Rowan Counties.
Between Salisbury in Rowan County and Mount Airy in Surry County, US 52 is a limited access freeway, and is in the process of being upgraded to Interstate Highway standards. Several Interstate highways either already, or are planned to in the near future, overlay the US 52 freeway. From Salisbury to Lexington, it is cosigned with I-85. From Lexington to I-40 south of Winston-Salem it is cosigned with I-285. In the future, as the freeway is upgraded, the I-285 designation will be extended north through Winston-Salem to meet a future interchange with the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway. North of that point, I-74 will leave the beltway to join US 52 and the two will remain cosigned until reaching the current short segment of I-74 located south of Mount Airy.
North of the I-74 junction in Surry County, the freeway continues on for a short distance, before becoming a four lane divided boulevard known as the Andy Griffith Parkway to bypass the town center of Mt. Airy. Immediately before crossing into Virginia, the route reduces back down to two lanes.
I used to drive this everyday going back and forth to work and home!
I moved to mount airy over a year ago and love it so much. Winston I don't drive in if I don't have too... Call it spoiled by my Airy driving. Pilot mountain state park is along this route as well and I highly recommend it!!!!
Used to drive this route to King and back, twice a week. Still drive it, fairly regularly. I love the scenery.
Been to Mt. Airy on this very road that leads into the town of Mt. Airy in 2008. Mt. Airy is a town based on Mayberry from the Andy Griffith Show. Thanks for posting!
You passed me. I was going g the other way...lol. I got to Winston just as the tow truck got there to load that burned out car where you passed the fire trucks.
Wow what a coincidence that you actually happened to see the video of it.
Beautiful smooth ride!
one of the easiest ways from Greenville NC to Huntington WV. Was a regular drive for a while.
Awesome drive along US 52 in North Carolina
Great drive on us highway 52 north
Ive never been to Mt Airy before but it looks like a nice town
Nice vid, thanks.
Thanks
I used to travel that highway every day
Not sure when it's going to happen but US 52 from the 74 turn off south towards Winston is turning into a continuation of 74. 52 will continue from the turn off up into Fancy Gap. If I'm not mistaken
That's correct
And in the future some of this will be I-74
Nice Drive
Yep. You can see some of the beltway construction too in the video.
@@MileageMikeTravels Mhm looks like there making good progress
From the beltway us 52 will be i285 its already i285 starting at clemmonsville rd to Lexington
I make this drive every day when I go home from work
Was there a collision show in this video?
Miss those tall fat green trees!
I remember when this was a two lane road.
Wow how long ago was that?
Two lane road is old 52 east of this road north of town through King to Pinnacle!
My mom made this trip every weekday for 15 years, then she got fired :(
