BOONE --

The N.C. Dept. of Transportation will temporarily close East King Street (U.S. 421) to thru traffic from Hardin Street at the intersection of U.S. 321 to U.S. 221/NC 105 from April 13 to 16.
Local traffic will still be able to access East King Street by using U.S. 221/NC 105 and Hardin Street, as well as Oak Street, Hillside Drive and Horn in the West Drive.
Work crews will complete clearing for the relocation of utilities for the planned widening of East King Street from Hardin Street to east of Jefferson Road (N.C. 194). The contract for the project is scheduled to be awarded in June.
To lessen the impact on traffic, the DOT has scheduled the clearing work for the week that Watauga County schools are on spring break and Appalachian State University is on holiday for the first two days.
