Route description
NC 175 begins at the North Carolina-Georgia state line just north of Hiawassee, Georgia. This is at the northern terminus of SR 75. NC 175 heads north running just east of Lake Chatuge and is located in the Nantahala National Forest. At just over four miles, NC 175 comes to its northern end at US 64 near the community of Elf, east of Hayesville.
History
The second and current NC 175 was a renumbering of NC 135, which was previously established 29 days earlier along secondary road 1154.[2][3] The routing has remained unchanged since its establishment.
The first NC 175 was an original state highway, traversing from NC 194, in Newland, to NC 17, in Blowing Rock. In 1930, NC 175 was replaced by NC 181, between Newland and Linville, and US 221/NC 691, between Linville and Blowing Rock.
Future
NCDOT plans to modernize all of NC 175, from the Georgia state line to US 64. The project includes widening lanes to 12 feet (3.7 m), from the current 10 feet (3.0 m), and add bike lanes. At an estimated cost of $4.8 million, it is currently unfunded.[4]
Junction list
The entire route is in Clay County.
