North Carolina Highway 135
North Carolina Highway 135 (NC 135), designated the J.J. Webster Highway,[2] is a 11.2-mile-long (18.0 km) road running from Mayodan to Eden in the US state of North Carolina. It runs concurrently with U.S. Route 311 (US 311) for most of its route.[1] History NC 135 was designated in 1967 as an upgrade of SR 2138; the highway roughly followed its current routing. In 2000, the designation shortened to end at a rerouted NC 770. The US 311 designation was added to NC 135 in 2004.[3] The highway was named after James Jefferson Webster Sr., a local store owner, dairy farmer, and politician who served as a Rockingham County commissioner from 1944 until 1952. His store was destroyed to make room for the highway's expansion.[4] On July 7, 1995 at the recommendation of Douglas Gaylon, the North Carolina Board of Transportation passed a resolution officially dedicating North Carolina Highway 135 in Rockingham County in his name.[5] A formal dedication ceremony took place at 11:00 A.M. on October 28, 1998 at Dalton L. McMichael High School, attended by Rep. Virginia Foxx and Commissioner Patricia Wright Gwyn.[6] Junction listThe entire route is in Rockingham County.
