Route description

It runs from NC 54 in Swepsonville north via Mebane, Hightowers, and Semora to the Virginia state line, where it continues as State Route 119.

History

Established in 1940, NC 119 was a renumbering of NC 103 between NC 54 and NC 49, in Alamance County. In 1954, NC 119 was extended north, on new primary routing, to the Virginia border.[2][3] In 1964, Virginia reciprocated by establishing SR 119 from the state line north to US 58/US 360.

Future

A project that started since 1990 is in the works to relocate NC 119 west of Mebane, creating a new 4 to 6-lane divided highway from I-40/I-85 to Mrs. White Lane (SR 1918). The project will be broken into two parts, with a combined estimate of $101.9 million; property acquisition is expected after 2014.[4]
