North Carolina Highway 135 (NC 135), formally known as J.J. Webster Highway[1] is a 11.5-mile-long (18.5 km) road running from Mayodan to Eden in the US state of North Carolina. It runs concurrently with US Highway 311 (US 311) most of the way.[2]
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] It was named after prominent business owner[4] and local politician, James Jefferson Webster, Sr.[5] who once served as the county commissioner for Rockingham County. The dedication and naming ceremony took place on July 7, 1995.[6]
