Highway 98 was created in 1934, in Wake county it was called Durham road. In 1981, the Army Corps of Engineers opened Falls Lake, a dammed up portion of the Neuse River, and Highway 98 was cut off by Falls Lake. Here, the end of Old 98 has become a hiking/biking trail in Forest Ridge Park.
You can still see part of the highway pavement on the trail.
As I looked across the lake from the end of the road, I think you can see where it must have continued at the other side.
