North Carolina Highway 4 (NC 4) is a North Carolina state highway that is 35 miles (56 km) in length. Running near the Virginia border in Nash and Halifax counties, NC 4 connects the region with Interstate 95 (I-95).

Route description

The southern terminus of NC 4 is at U.S. Route 301 (US 301) near Rocky Mount. After heading west, NC 4 joins NC 48 near I-95 with exit/entrance ramps (exit 145); numerous hotels can be found here, built especially for I-95 travelers. After heading north for about 15 miles (24 km), NC 4 splits from NC 48 and joins NC 561 near Medoc Mountain State Park, heading west. After several miles, the road splits off and heads north for about 12 miles (19 km) before entering Littleton and ending at US 158/NC 903 downtown.[1]

NC 4 is one of the more rural roads in this part of the state; before entering Littleton, there are no incorporated towns along the route. This section of the state is mainly farmland.[1]
