N.C. 702  dead
Formerly:


NC 702: Appeared as new primary routing by 1922, running from NC 70-512 West End (NC 211-73 today) east to Eastwood, then north to NC 74 (now NC 24-27) Carthage.
In 1923, NC 702 was straightened out to run from Carthage south to NC 70 (NC 5 now) Pinehurst.

In 1927 or 1928, NC 702 between Carthage and Pinehurst was replaced with US 15/NC 75 (today this is now US 15-501 and the last little bit of west NC 2). NC 702 then ran as new routing from the Page Rd/Midland Rd jct PInehurst east to US 1/NC 50 (just NW Broad St) Southern Pines. It is unclear if this is a second NC 702 or if this was a short-lived extension of the original NC 702.
In 1935, NC 702 was renumbered as part of NC 2, which it remains except east of modern US 1 it is just Midland Rd.
