North Carolina Highway 105 is a primary state highway in the state of North Carolina. It traverses from the mountain community of Linville to the town of Boone. ==Route description==
Constructed about 1956, NC 105 follows the general route of the old ET&WNC "Tweetsie" Railroad connecting Linville to Boone before a major flood washed away many sections of the roadbed in 1940. For the most part the highway was not built on the actual roadbed. Unlike other roads in the area, it was less curvy and made the most direct route to Boone compared to US 221 and NC 194. The highway also doubles as a truck routes for US 221, US 321, and US 421.〔 The first of the highway is two-lane and goes by the gated communities Grandfather Golf & Country Club and Linville Ridge. At the Tynecastle intersection in Linville Gap, it crosses the Eastern Continental Divide and begins to descend into a valley area. On this section of the highway, the south-bound traffic has a passing lane and Trucks are required to drive 45 mph. Once the descent ends, the route briefly passes through the town limits of Seven Devils. Between Seven Devils and Broadstone Road is the unincorporated community of Foscoe. Some of the best views of Grandfather Mountain can be seen at this section of the highway for southbound traffic; it is also notorious for traffic back-ups by travelers trying to stop and visit shops on either side of the road. A brief south-bound passing lane is available near Hound Ears, however drivers typically do not go fast enough to take advantage of the passing zone or slower traffic will stay left causing drivers to pass on the right. Between Broadstone Road and NC 105 Bypass, the highway ascends towards Boone, the north-bound traffic expands to two lanes; probably the least scenic section of the road thanks to a rock quarry and asphalt plant on either side of the road. In Boone, the highway becomes a full four-lane highway for the rest of the route and connects to two major roads: Blowing Rock Road and East King Street.〔〔
