The Salem Parkway is an artery corridor located mostly in Forsyth County in the U.S. state of North Carolina, designated U.S. Route 421 (US 421) for its entire length. Interstate 74 (Winston-Salem Northern Beltway) (exit 53) effectively divides the parkway. Between Interstate 40 (exit 188) to I-74, the parkway serves serving Downtown Winston-Salem, which also features "Twin City Trail." East of Interstate 74, the parkway serves Downtown Kernersville, before merging with I-40 west of Greensboro (exit 206). The parkway in its entirety, is 18.5-mile-long (29.8 km).
