Highway 194 section re-opens
by Anna Oakes
A section of N.C. 194 between Valle Crucis and Matney is now open after several months of closure for transportation improvements.
The section of highway re-opened Oct. 13, according to Ed Treadaway, N.C. Department of Transportation assistant resident engineer for Boone.
The NCDOT project consisted of safety improvements, drainage improvements, retaining wall construction and resurfacing.
Although traffic may again pass through the area, paving and other minor projects may result in temporary lane closures, Treadaway said.
Treadaway said inspectors believe the project will be completed by early November.
