Pathways To Progress

The Smithfield-Selma area has great connections to the world through a number of transportation avenues, which can get you to your destination quickly and safely.

Strategically located in the center of North Carolina and midway along the Atlantic Coast, Smithfield-Selma is easily accessible from land, rail, water and air. Major highways and interstates place the area within two days’ trucking time of 60% of the nation’s industrial base. Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU), just nine miles from Raleigh, provides efficient and cost-effective travel options for business and leisure travelers. Johnston County Airport, just west of Smithfield, is used for corporate and charter air service. Two sea ports are less than two hours away in Wilmington and Morehead City.
