Route description

The route begins at US 311 in Walnut Cove and travels westward to team with NC 8 through Danbury; the routes split shortly after leaving the town. Continuing west, NC 89 enters Mount Airy at Bannertown where the route shares Business US 52 into the heart of the city. The route then runs independently out of city as Pine Street into Toast where it intersects with Bypass US 52. Exiting Toast, NC 89 meets I-74 and then one mile (1.6 km) further, I-77 (exit 100). The route continues past Lowgap and the eastern terminus of NC 18 before ending at the Virginia/North Carolina border in Surry County, North Carolina, where Virginia's SR 89 begins.
