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

Charlotte Is Weighing a Ban on Towing Cars With People Inside, but North Carolina Law Won’t Let It Touch What Towers Charge

Two proposals stand out: banning the towing of vehicles with people inside them, and requiring a property owner’s written authorization for every tow, at any hour. Both are reasonable. Neither touches the bill, though, because North Carolina law doesn’t let cities set tow prices.
