North Carolina Highway 711 (NC 711) is a primary state highway in the state of North Carolina. It connects the town of Pembroke with Interstate 95/U.S. Route 301, in Lumberton.

Route description

NC 711 is a predominantly two-lane highway that travels from I-95/US 301, in Lumberton, to NC 710, in Pembroke. Two key features of the route is its crossing of the Lumber River near its southern terminus and its pass-by of UNC Pembroke, in downtown Pembroke.

History

NC 711 was established in 1951 or 1952 as a reestablishment of a primary highway between Lumberton and Pembroke. The route previously existed as US 74, but was downgraded to a secondary road when it was rerouted south onto new bypass, south of the Lumber River, in 1949. The original routing was from NC 72 to NC 710.[2] Between 1963-1968, NC 711 was extended south, overlapping NC 72 to its current southern terminus with I-95/US 301.[3][4]
