The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is widening a 1.6 mile stretch of NC 66 (Old Hollow Road) from Harley Drive to US 158 (Reidsville Road) in Walkertown in an effort to reduce traffic. On a daily basis, approximately 17,000 vehicles use that stretch of NC 66, though it is currently a two-lane road. The road will be expanded to four lanes. Additionally, NCDOT is adding a median and including turn lanes that would give vehicles access to nearby side streets.
