Some unfortunate news: the NC DOT tried a number of ways to fix the washout on Dillard Road. None were successful and that means the road bed and drainage will need to be replaced. This means Dillard Road will be shut down indefinitely starting this Saturday morning at 7:00am. This will impact deliveries coming to Highlands as well as fall tourism traffic. Please plan accordingly for the upcoming road closing of Dillard Road. While they won’t say how long the road will be closed, it will more than likely be several weeks.
