North Carolina Highway 125 (NC 125) is a state highway that serves the communities of Williamston, Hamilton, Oak City, Hobgood, Scotland Neck, Halifax, and Roanoke Rapids

Route description

The southern terminus of the route is Martin County SR 1142 (Prison Camp Road), in front of the Senator Bob Martin Eastern Agricultural Center.^[2] About 0.5-mile (0.80 km) north of the interchange with US 13/US 64, the highway proceeds into the Williamston city limits. After leaving Williamston, NC 125 continues north to serve the small communities of Hamilton, Oak City, Oak City, Scotland Neck, and Halifax. The highway has an interchange with Interstate 95 (I-95) shortly before entering its destination town of Roanoke Rapids. The route terminates at NC 48 in the downtown area.

History

The route was created in 1922, running from Williamston to Rich Square. The section between Scotland Neck and Rich Square was rerouted in 1925; the northern terminus of NC 125 was moved near Halifax. In 1965 the route was expanded northwards, replacing several secondary routes, the terminus was US 158 in Roanoke Rapids. The current northern terminus was achieved in 1981, following East 10th Street to the NC 48 intersection. The 1990s saw the highway receive an interchange with I-95, and the southern terminus was extended to its current position.^[1]
