Transportation in the Duplin County Area
The North Carolina Department of Transportation has planned
for significant improvements to Duplin County's highway system
over the next several years. Duplin County is served by approximately
30 miles of Interstate Highway. Major highways throughout
Duplin County are Interstate 40, U.S. 117, N.C. 11, 24, 41,
50, 111, 241, 403, and 903. NC 24 and NC 11 are designated
as "critical connectors" to eastern North Carolina.
NC 24 has been widened to four lanes from Morehead City to
I-40 near Warsaw. Construction was completed in 1998. The
segment of NC 24 connecting I-40 to I-95 near Fayetteville
is scheduled for construction beginning 2001. Widening this
portion of NC 24 will give Duplin County rapid access to I-95,
the Eastern United States major north/south route. NC 11 is
scheduled to be widened to four lanes from Kinston to I-40
near Kenansville. Construction has already begun on the portion
in Duplin County. Completion of this project will provide
a four-lane route from Greenville and Kinstion to I-40 at
Kenansville. Air Service in Duplin County is provided at the
Duplin County Airport and at Henderson Field. The Duplin County
Airport is located three miles north of Kenansville on Airport
Road. It has a 6,002 foot asphalt lighted runway and is operated
by Duplin Air (910) 296-2188.
