Traffic to slow, shift for I-77 N. at Surry-Yadkin line

JONESVILLE — Travelers driving north on Interstate 77 crossing from Yadkin County into Surry County will be experiencing slower speed limits and a traffic lane shift for the next several months. Last week a N.C. Department of Transportation contractor shifted traffic to a temporary pattern on the highway there. Using a series of slow-rolling closures beginning last Monday night, crews from Smith-Rowe LLC shifted I-77 North traffic to the I-77 South bridge overnight Thursday to replace the 61-year-old bridge that carries motorists over the Yadkin River and N.C. 268. Contract crews have been working since March constructing the temporary pattern on the I-77 South bridge, which is large enough to accommodate both directions of travel until the replacement bridge is finished. The Department of Transportation replaced the I-77 South bridge in this area in 2007. While no detours will be necessary to shift traffic, the speed limit on I-77 will drop to 55 mph until traffic is shifted to the replacement bridge. The $16.8 million contract calls for all construction to be finished by late 2028. It does not allow narrowing or closing lanes during daytime hours on I-77 or during morning rush hour on N.C. 268. It was not

N.C. 12 reopens on Pea Island

Drivers now have full access to Hatteras Island along N.C. 12 after the North Carolina Department of Transportation completed emergency repairs ahead of schedule. NCDOT officials reopened N.C. 12 on Pea Island to free-flowing, two-way traffic Oct. 3, several days earlier than originally projected. The reopening follows extensive damage caused by a powerful nor’easter that struck the Outer Banks on Sept. 24. The storm forced the closure of N.C. 12 and temporarily cut off road access to Hatteras Island. After ocean conditions improved on Sept. 27, NCDOT crews began emergency repairs that included rebuilding the protective sand dune along the highway, removing damaged pavement, and creating a temporary one-lane detour around the washed-out section. That gravel detour opened Sept. 29. PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Traffic flows again on Outer Banks highway after nor’easter washout Since then, crews have continued repair work, removing the remaining damaged asphalt, preparing the roadway, and paving both travel lanes. Even after two-way traffic resumes, drivers are being urged to use caution through the area. The automated traffic signals used during the detour period will be switched to flashing yellow, while traffic cones will continue separating lanes temporarily. NCDOT crews will continue strengthening the protective dune system and
