_ . State Moves - BY SUSAN USHER Right-of-way acquisition for the long-awaited bypass around Shallotte will begin before July 1986 under a revised lopv-ranve plan adopted hv the State Board of Transportation last week. The yrork is to begin during the 1986 fiscal year, one vear ahead of the schedule set a year ago. The timing has been moved up several months ahead of the most recent estimates publicized by the N.C. Department of Transportation. Under this latest revision of the Transportation Improvement Program, U.S. 17 would be four-laned across the width of Brunswick County by 1994, with bypasses completed around Shallotte and Bolivia before 1990. Right-of-way acquisition for the Bolivia bypass is under way, according to public information officer of the N.C. Department of Transportation, with construction of both bypasses to begin in fiscal year 1987 or early in fiscal year 1988 and to be completed at about the same, in fiscal year 1989. In a related project, the rest area on U.S. 17 between "He MUNSWICK MACON ? .--.Mr: v-'OOV- DINDE HOftO S SON = t-ju 1; _ r- T Ml Z?*9?84 3PRINGP0Rt ^' Volume 23, Number 49 Shol Williams Winner, Champion Shuck I Milton Williams of Seaside became Winner of the i a two-time winner of the N.C.
