Work Begun On Cutshalltown Rd.
After six years of trying,
county highway officials are
finally able to begin work
upgrading the 3.8 miles of Cut
shall town Road in the Shelton
Laurel section of the county.
For something over $400,000
from the state Department of
Transportation's highway
fund, the road will be virtually
re-made ? curves straighten
ed, hills smoothed, surface
paved. In some places the
road is only 8 to 10 feet wide; it
will be broadened to a uniform
width of 18 feet.
The right-of-way problems
that have delayed the work
have been solved, and the 47
families living along the Cut
shalltown Road could have a
modern highway by as early
as this summer.
"We actually began clear
ing right-of-way last week,"
said Jack Buckner, who super
vises highway projects in
Madison and Yancey counties.
"We'd like to get out of there

this summer, but a lot of work
is involved ? grading, laying
stone, paving. It really
depends on the weather just
how fast we can finish the
job."
The work itself will be done
not by contractors but by the
county's own highway crews.
Construction will be supervis
ed by county foreman Tim
Baldwin.
The choice of Cutshalltown
Road for rehabilitation was
made on the baaia of a county
priority Hat that is updated
every two years. The Depart
ment of Trans poration keeps
track of stretches of highway
that need paving, along with
such statistics as how many
families live along them. Two
other high-priority roads are
Culvin Creek, due for atten
tion in fiscal 1980, and Long
Qranch Road.
Garretts Lose House
The home of the Danny Gar
rett family on Hickory Flats
Road, off highway 25/70, was
destroyed by fire on March 4.
According to Jimmy
Ramsey of the Marshall
Volunteer Fire Department,
the frame house was a total
loss, along with all furniture
and belongings.
