From Eden, it continues north concurrent with NC 87 to the Virginia state line where the road continues as Virginia State Route 87 (SR 87).

US 158 heads east from this point but NC 14 and US 158 travel in a northwestern direction through woodlands as a four-lane wide highway with a center turn lane.

The road enters the city after a one-quadrant interchange with East Market Street and passing under a railroad.

NC 14 then exits the city after passing through a small commercial strip, entering a mix of woods, homes, and farmland.

Most junctions here are at-grade intersections though the northernmost junction with Bethlehem Church Road, an overpass carries the road over NC 14 with a single on-ramp to NC 14 southbound.
