Nightly closures planned for U.S. 601 in Yadkinville

An N.C. Department of Transportation contractor closed a short stretch of U.S. 601 at U.S. 421 over the weekend with more overnight closures planned for this week to finish constructing roundabouts at the off-ramps. Beginning at 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6, U.S. 601 (State Street) closures between the U.S. 421 ramps are expected while crews finish installing curb, concrete islands and truck aprons within the roundabouts during a weekend-long operation, weather permitting. Weekend crews reopened U.S. 601 in both directions by 6 a.m. Monday. This weekend operation is to be followed by overnight closures with drivers utilizing the same detour from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. each night through Friday morning. During the closures, drivers who wish to drive through the U.S. 601 corridor must follow a detour onto U.S. 421 to the next exit, turn around and return to U.S. 601. Drivers exiting U.S. 421 onto U.S. 601 must turn right onto U.S. 601 or follow the U.S. 421 detour. The $19.8 million contract with Blythe Construction includes two additional roundabouts on U.S. 601 at the Maple Street and Lee Avenue intersections. The roundabouts are designed to ease congestion and improve traffic flow throughout the corridor. The project also

Rams ride back-to-back wins into postseason clash with Swain County

BOONVILLE — Starmount's football team has caught fire at the right time of the season, reeling off back-to-back wins in dominant fashion to position itself as a serious postseason threat heading into November. The Rams opened the stretch with a 28-7 victory over Wilkes Central on Oct. 23, piling up 161 rushing yards and 68 yards through the air in a physical, wire-to-wire performance. Starmount's defense was equally stout, holding the Eagles to a single score and setting the tone for what was to come. One week later on Oct. 30, the Rams were even more imposing, steamrolling Ashe County 53-0 in a shutout that was never in doubt. Starmount exploded for 19 first-quarter points and piled on 21 more in the second, taking a commanding 40-0 lead into halftime before coasting to the finish. Quarterback D. Best went 7 of 15 for 88 yards and a touchdown against the Rams' pass rush-tested defense. Running back K. Williams was the workhorse on the ground, carrying 10 times for 122 yards and a score. Wide receiver H. Brown contributed two receptions for 34 yards and a touchdown in the blowout. The Starmount defense was flawless, surrendering zero points against Ashe County
