Emergency Repairs on U.S. Highway 321
First up on the agenda is the much-anticipated emergency spot repairs and construction on U.S. Highway 321. This vital stretch of road runs between Butler and the North Carolina border, making it crucial not only for local traffic but also for those visiting our beautiful area. After the devastating impacts of the hurricane, it’s no surprise that this region has faced quite a few challenges, especially concerning our roadways.

Weather Forecast for a Smooth Journey
And speaking of travel, it looks like Mother Nature is on our side! The weather forecast shows some patchy fog early in the morning, but generally, it should be a lovely day to hit the road. With temperatures peaking around 70°F, conditions will be mild, making for a pleasant journey. Just remember to keep your headlights on during that fog!
Chilly Nights Ahead!
As the day winds down, expect the skies to clear up a little, giving way to a partly cloudy night. But don’t let that fool you—temperatures will dip down to about 44°F, so grab a cozy sweater or jacket if you’re planning to be out and about after dark!
