SR 62 begins at the North Carolina state line in the extreme southwestern corner of
Halifax County. The roadway continues southeast as NC 62, which immediately crosses the
Dan River into the town of Milton, where NC 62 turns south toward
Burlington at its intersection with
NC 57. Milton is just south of
Virginia International Raceway, which lies on the east side of the Dan River. SR 62 almost immediately enters southeastern
Pittsylvania County and remains in the county for the remainder of the route. It heads northwest through farmland to an intersection with US 58 and US 360 (Philpott Road) about east of downtown Danville. The roadway continues north as SR 726 (Ringgold Depot Road), which heads northwest toward Ringgold Depot. ==History==
