Transportation - Major highways serving Jones County are US 70, US 17 and NC 58, NC 41, and NC 258. US 70 runs across the northeastern part of Jones County. It is a direct route to the North Carolina port in Morehead City and the Atlantic Coast to the east. To the west it goes by Interstate 95 and to Raleigh.
