North Carolina Highway 711 (NC 711) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of North Carolina. It connects the town of Pembroke with Interstate 95 (I-95) and U.S. Route 301 (US 301) in Lumberton. The highway travels in an east-to-west orientation but is signed as a north-south highway (with its easternmost point in Lumberton as its southern terminus), entirely in Robeson County.

Route description

Directional signage at the end of the I-95/US 301 exit ramp

NC 711 is a predominantly two-lane highway that travels from I-95/US 301 in Lumberton to NC 710 in Pembroke. South of the I-95 interchange, the road continues to the east towards downtown Lumberton as NC 72. NC 711 and NC 72 share a concurrency for 1⁄2 mile (0.80 km) north of the interchange. Two key features of the route is its crossing of the Lumber River near its southern terminus and its pass-by of University of North Carolina at 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]
