The three roads run together for over one mile (1.6 km) before NC 700 heads south along Fieldcrest Street.

It goes southeast out of the Eden city limits then northeast through a mix of forest and farmland.

It ends at an interchange with US 29 (future Interstate 785) just outside of the community of Pelham.

The Piedmont Triad Visitor Center is located on NC 700 just west of the interchange.

Established in 1934 as a new primary routing from northwest of Eden to Pelham.
