NCDOT TO HOLD PUBLIC MEETING ON AUGUST 17 FOR THE
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS TO THE INTERSECTION OF OLD U.S. 421 AND
SPEER BRIDGE ROAD
TIP Project No. R-5'730
The N.C. Department of Transportation will hold a public meeting regarding the proposed improvements
to the intersection of Old U.S. 421 and Speer Bridge Road in Yadkin County.
The meeting will take place on Thursday, August 17, at the NC DOT Maintenance Facility located at
1636 Shacktown Road in Yadkinville from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Interested citizens may attend at any time
during the above hours as there will be no formal presentation. NCDOT representatives will be available
to answer questions and receive comments regarding the proposed project. Citizens will also have the
opportunity to submit comments and questions in writing. All written comments and questions need to be
submitted no later than Monday, September 18.
NCDOT proposes to improve the existing intersection of Old U.S. 421 and Speer Bridge Road by
converting the intersection to a roundabout intersection.
The purpose of this project is to improve the safety and traffic flow of the intersection. Slower speeds and
less conflict points at the roundabout reduce the frequency and severity of accidents. Moreover, delays are
reduced due to the smooth flow of traffic rather than the stop-and-go traffic of normal intersection.
