Officials at the NC Department of Transportation said repairs to US-64 along the Cullasaja are nearing completion and the road should reopen next week.
“All temporary shoring has been installed and all shotcrete operations have been completed setting up two days of micro-pile installation followed by two days of wall construction and two days to tie in the ends,” said DoT Communications Officer David Uchiyama. “That leads us to an opening on Monday if all goes well, and Tuesday at the latest.”
