'''U.S. Route 258''' ('''US 258''') is a spur of [[U.S. Route 58|US 58]] in the U.S. states of [[North Carolina]] and [[Virginia]]. The [[United States Numbered Highways|U.S. Highway]] runs {{convert|220.15|mi|km}} from [[U.S. Route 17 Business (Jacksonville, North Carolina)|US 17 Business]] and [[North Carolina Highway 24 Business (Jacksonville)|NC 24 Business]] in [[Jacksonville, North Carolina]] north to [[Virginia State Route 143]] (SR 143) at [[Fort Monroe]] in [[Hampton, Virginia]]. In North Carolina, US 258 connects Jacksonville with the [[Inner Banks]] communities of [[Kinston, North Carolina|Kinston]], [[Snow Hill, North Carolina|Snow Hill]], [[Farmville, North Carolina|Farmville]], [[Tarboro, North Carolina|Tarboro]], and [[Murfreesboro, North Carolina|Murfreesboro]]. The U.S. Highway continues through the Virginia city of [[Franklin, Virginia|Franklin]], where the highway intersects US 58, and the town of [[Smithfield, Virginia|Smithfield]] on its way to the [[Hampton Roads]] metropolitan area. US 258 crosses the [[James River]] on the [[James River Bridge]] and follows [[Mercury Boulevard]] through [[Newport News, Virginia|Newport News]] and Hampton.

==Route description==

===Jacksonville to Kinston===
[[File:US Highway 258 052906 631.jpg|thumb|left|Southern terminus in Jacksonville, NC]]
US 258 begins at a directional intersection with US 17 Business and NC 24 Business in Jacksonville. The business routes head east together as Marine Boulevard toward downtown Jacksonville; US 17 Business heads southwest along Wilmington Highway to meet up with [[U.S. Route 17 in North Carolina|US 17]] along the freeway bypass of Jacksonville that also carries [[North Carolina Highway 24|NC 24]] and leads to [[Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune]]. US 258 and NC 24 Business [[concurrency (road)|run concurrently]] along Richlands Highway, a five-lane road with center turn lane, west to the western terminus of the freeway, a four-way intersection at which NC 24 begins to run concurrently with US 258; the west leg of the intersection is [[North Carolina Highway 53|NC 53]] (Burgaw Highway). The U.S. Highway and state highway parallel the [[New River (eastern North Carolina)|New River]] through a junction with the southern end of [[North Carolina Highway 111|NC 111]] (Catherine Lake Road) to just south of [[Richlands, North Carolina|Richlands]], where the highways cross the river and pass through that town. The highways head west out of the town as Kinston Highway. West of Richlands NC 24 continues west as five-lane Beulaville Highway toward [[Beulaville, North Carolina|Beulaville]] while US 258 curves north along Kinston Highway, which reduces to two lanes.<ref name="NCDOT Maps"/><ref name="Google Maps US 258"/>

US 258 briefly passes through [[Jones County, North Carolina|Jones County]], where the highway intersects [[North Carolina Highway 41|NC 41]] at Hargetts Crossroads before entering [[Lenoir County, North Carolina|Lenoir County]]. The U.S. Highway crosses the [[Trent River (North Carolina)|Trent River]] and passes through [[Woodington, North Carolina|Woodington]] prior to its junction with [[U.S. Route 70 in North Carolina|US 70]] and [[North Carolina Highway 58|NC 58]] (New Bern Road) just south of the [[Neuse River]] in Kinston. The roadway continues straight as Queen Street, which carries NC 58, [[U.S. Route 70 Business (Kinston, North Carolina)|US 70 Business]], and [[#Kinston business route|US 258 Business]] across the river into downtown Kinston. US 258 runs concurrently northwest along the US 70 four-lane divided highway; the two U.S. Highways have an intersection with [[North Carolina Highway 11|NC 11]] and [[North Carolina Highway 55|NC 55]] (Old Pink Hill Road) before crossing the river and meeting the other end of the highways' business routes, which follow Vernon Avenue. US 258 and US 70 follow Vernon Avenue a short distance west to where US 258 turns north. The U.S. Highway has an at-grade crossing with the [[North Carolina Railroad]] and meets the western end of [[North Carolina Highway 148|NC 148]] (C.F. Harvey Parkway), which serves [[Kinston Regional Jetport]] and the [[Global TransPark|North Carolina Global TransPark]].<ref name="NCDOT Maps"/><ref name="Google Maps US 258"/>

===Kinston to Tarboro===
US 258 crosses Wheat Swamp into [[Greene County, North Carolina|Greene County]]. The U.S. Highway intersects NC 58 (Kingold Boulevard) again south of Snow Hill, which the highway enters along 2nd Street. In the center of town, US 258 turns onto Greene Street and crosses Contentnea Creek, then has a four-way intersection with [[U.S. Route 13 in North Carolina|US 13]], [[North Carolina Highway 91|NC 91]], and [[North Carolina Highway 903|NC 903]]. The roadway continues north as NC 91; US 258 begins to run northeast concurrently with US 13 and NC 903. NC 903 diverges from the two U.S. Highways west of [[Maury, North Carolina|Maury]]; the U.S. Highways intersect [[North Carolina Highway 123|NC 123]] in the hamlet of [[Lizzie, North Carolina|Lizzie]]. US 258 and US 13 diverge north of Sandy Run. US 258 crosses Middle Swamp into [[Pitt County, North Carolina|Pitt County]] and intersects [[U.S. Route 264 Alternate (North Carolina)|US 264 Alternate]] south of Farmville. US 258 and US 264 Alternate briefly run together east for {{convert|0.2|mi|km|spell=in}} before US 258 heads north again. US 258 comes to a [[diamond interchange]] with [[Interstate 587 (North Carolina)|I-587]] and [[U.S. Route 264|US 264]] (John P. East Memorial Highway) and Wesley Chapel Road northeast of the center of Farmville. US 258 joins the I-587 and US 264 freeway west for about {{convert|3|mi|km|spell=in}} before exiting at another diamond interchange northwest of town. The former routing of the highway through Farmville is now U.S. Route 258 Business.<ref name="NCDOT Maps"/><ref name="Google Maps US 258"/>

US 258 intersects [[North Carolina Highway 222|NC 222]] (Wilson Street) in [[Fountain, North Carolina|Fountain]] before entering [[Edgecombe County, North Carolina|Edgecombe County]]. The U.S. Highway intersects [[North Carolina Highway 124|NC 124]] in [[Crisp, North Carolina|Crisp]] and [[North Carolina Highway 42|NC 42]] and [[North Carolina Highway 43|NC 43]] east of [[Pinetops, North Carolina|Pinetops]], then parallels the [[Tar River]] to Tarboro. South of downtown Tarboro, the U.S. Highway has a [[partial cloverleaf]] interchange with the [[U.S. Route 64 in North Carolina|US 64]] freeway and Western Boulevard, which features [[U.S. Route 64 Alternate (Tarboro, North Carolina)|US 64 Alternate]], NC 111, and [[North Carolina Highway 122|NC 122]]. US 258 and the two state highways cross the Tar River on the freeway, then exit US 64 onto Mutual Boulevard at a partial interchange on the east side of the river in [[Princeville, North Carolina|Princeville]]. There is no access from southbound US 258 to eastbound US 64 or from westbound US 64 to northbound US 258. The missing movements are provided via [[North Carolina Highway 33|NC 33]], which the three highways intersect in the center of town. A short distance to the east, NC 111 diverges on Greenwood Boulevard. US 258 and NC 122 parallel the river north before the two routes diverge northeast of Tarboro.<ref name="NCDOT Maps"/><ref name="Google Maps US 258"/>

===Tarboro to Franklin===
[[File:2017-07-13 10 47 24 View south along U.S. Route 258 (Smiths Ferry Road) at Virginia State Route 189 (Quay Road) in southeastern Southampton County, Virginia.jpg|thumb|right|View south along US 258 at SR 189 in Southampton County, Virginia]]
US 258 intersects [[North Carolina Highway 97|NC 97]] in the hamlet of Lawrence before the highway enters [[Halifax County, North Carolina|Halifax County]]. The U.S. Highway crosses Deep Creek before becoming the Main Street of [[Scotland Neck, North Carolina|Scotland Neck]]. US 258 becomes concurrent with [[North Carolina Highway 125|NC 125]] at the south edge of the town and with NC 903, which enters from the east on 9th Street, in the center of town. NC 125 and NC 903 exit town to the west on 12th Street. US 258 has a junction with [[North Carolina Highway 561|NC 561]] north of Scotland Neck; the two highways cross the [[Roanoke River]] into [[Northampton County, North Carolina|Northampton County]]. The two highways meet the northern end of [[North Carolina Highway 308|NC 308]] just before entering [[Rich Square, North Carolina|Rich Square]] as Main Street. In the center of Rich Square, US 258 intersects [[North Carolina State Route 305|NC 305]] (Jackson Street), which exits town to the east with NC 561. The U.S. Highway has an at-grade crossing of the [[North Carolina and Virginia Railroad]] southwest of [[Woodland, North Carolina|Woodland]], where the highway, marked as Main Street, has a concurrency with [[North Carolina Highway 35|NC 35]] between Spruce Street and Linden Street.<ref name="NCDOT Maps"/><ref name="Google Maps US 258"/>

North of Woodland, US 258 crosses [[Potecasi Creek]] and parallels the Northampton–[[Hertford County, North Carolina|Hertford]] county line north to Murfreesboro. The U.S. Highway joins [[U.S. Route 158|US 158]] east into Hertford County on its four-lane divided southern bypass of the town while the roadway continues straight as [[U.S. Route 158 Business (Murfreesboro, North Carolina)|US 158 Business]] (Main Street). Southeast of the town, US 258 leaves US 158 and joins NC 11 on Beechwood Boulevard, which the two highways follow to NC 11's northern terminus at US 158 Business. US 258 leaves Murfreesboro on Virginia Boulevard, which crosses the [[Meherrin River]] and heads northeast through [[Como, North Carolina|Como]] to the state line, where the highway enters [[Southampton County, Virginia]].<ref name="NCDOT Maps"/><ref name="Google Maps US 258"/> The U.S. Highway, now named Smiths Ferry Road, uses the General Vaughan Bridge to cross the [[Nottoway River]] a short distance north of its confluence with the [[Blackwater River (Virginia)|Blackwater River]] to form the [[Chowan River]].<ref name="VDOT Traffic Data"/><ref name="Google Maps US 258"/>

US 258 meets the western end of [[Virginia State Route 189|SR 189]] (Quay Road) before reaching its diamond interchange with US 58 (Southampton Parkway) south of the [[independent city]] of Franklin. US 258 joins US 58 on a four-lane freeway heading east while the roadway continues north into the city as [[#Franklin business route|US 258 Business]] (South Street). US 258 and US 58 head southeast through a widely spaced partial cloverleaf interchange with SR 714 (Pretlow Street) before crossing the Blackwater River into the city of [[Suffolk, Virginia|Suffolk]]. East of the river, the U.S. Highways have a partial cloverleaf interchange with SR 189, which joins US 58 heading east toward [[Norfolk, Virginia|Norfolk]] while US 258 exits the freeway and heads north, becoming Great Mill Highway on entering [[Isle of Wight County, Virginia|Isle of Wight County]] southeast of Franklin. When Great Mill Highway continues north toward an industrial area on the east side of Franklin, US 258 veers northeast on Camp Family Highway, crosses over [[Norfolk Southern Railway]]'s [[Franklin District (Norfolk Southern Railway)|Franklin District]], and meets the northern end of US 258 Business at its intersection with [[U.S. Route 58 Business (Franklin, Virginia)|US 58 Business]] (Carrsville Highway) just north of its grade crossing of [[CSX Transportation|CSX]]'s [[Portsmouth Subdivision]] rail line and just south of [[Franklin Municipal-John Beverly Rose Airport]].<ref name="VDOT Traffic Data"/><ref name="Google Maps US 258"/>

===Franklin to Hampton===
US 258 continues northeast as Walters Highway through the hamlet of [[Walters, Virginia|Walters]] to the town of [[Windsor, Virginia|Windsor]], where the highway is named Prince Boulevard, has a grade crossing of Norfolk Southern's [[Norfolk District]] rail line, and intersects [[U.S. Route 460 in Virginia|US 460]] (Windsor Boulevard). The U.S. Highway continues north as Courthouse Highway through the [[county seat]] of [[Isle of Wight, Virginia|Isle of Wight]] to the town of Smithfield. US 258 enters the town as Main Street before joining [[Virginia State Route 10|SR 10]] on the town's bypass; Main Street continues as [[#Smithfield business route|US 258 Business]]. The two-lane bypass has a diamond interchange with Fairway Drive, then crosses Cypress Creek and collects the northern end of US 258 Business, which runs concurrently with [[Virginia State Route 10 Business|SR 10 Business]] on Church Street. US 258 and SR 10 continue southeast on four-lane divided Benns Church Boulevard to [[Benns Church, Virginia|Benns Church]], where US 258 leaves SR 10 and joins [[Virginia State Route 32|SR 32]] on Brewers Neck Boulevard. The U.S. Highway and state highway follow that boulevard to [[Carrollton, Virginia|Carrollton]], where the highways join [[U.S. Route 17 in Virginia|US 17]] on Carrollton Boulevard. The three highways curve northeast and cross the James River on the James River Bridge.<ref name="VDOT Traffic Data"/><ref name="Google Maps US 258"/>

US 258, US 17, and SR 32 enter the city of Newport News on Mercury Boulevard. The six-lane highway has a partial cloverleaf interchange with [[U.S. Route 60 in Virginia|US 60]] (Warwick Boulevard) and crosses CSX's [[Peninsula Subdivision]] rail line before reaching SR 143 (Jefferson Avenue), where SR 32 has its northern terminus. US 17 turns north onto Jefferson Avenue while US 258 continues east on Mercury Boulevard into the city of Hampton. At Newmarket Drive south of the former [[Newmarket North Mall]], the U.S. Highway expands to eight lanes and passes through a heavily commercialized area. East of [[Virginia State Route 415|SR 415]] (Power Plant Parkway), US 258 meets [[Interstate 64 in Virginia|Interstate 64]] at an interchange featuring a pair of flyover ramps. The U.S. Highway heads east from the Interstate concurrent with [[Virginia State Route 134|SR 134]] as the highway passes between [[Peninsula Town Center]] to the north and the [[Hampton Coliseum]] to the south. At the eastern end of the heavily commercialized area, US 258 has intersections with the eastern end of [[Virginia State Route 152|SR 152]] (Cunningham Drive) and Armistead Avenue, which heads south as SR 134.<ref name="VDOT Traffic Data"/><ref name="Google Maps US 258"/>

US 258 crosses Newmarket Creek just west of the highway's partial cloverleaf interchange with La Salle Avenue. The U.S. Highway reduces to six lanes at its diamond interchange with [[Virginia State Route 278|SR 278]] (King Street), which serves [[Langley Air Force Base]]. US 258 becomes four lanes at its northern intersection with [[Virginia State Route 169|SR 169]], which heads north as Fox Hill Road. The U.S. Highway crosses the [[Hampton River]] and curves south toward its terminus. US 258 intersects [[Virginia State Route 351|SR 351]] (Pembroke Avenue) and Woodland Avenue, which leads to I-64 and downtown Hampton and where the highway reduces to a four-lane undivided street. The U.S. Highway has another junction with SR 169 (Mallory Street) in the [[Phoebus, Virginia|Phoebus]] neighborhood of Hampton. At the east edge of Phoebus, US 258 crosses the Mill Creek estuary on a causeway and reaches its northern terminus at an intersection with the southern terminus of SR 143 (Ingalls Road) at the entrance to Fort Monroe. Ingalls Road continues south onto the former military base at [[Old Point Comfort]] that was decommissioned in September 2011.<ref name="VDOT Traffic Data"/><ref name="Google Maps US 258"/>
