Finding downtown Clayton from US 70 has become easier with some new signage installed by the North Carolina Department of Transportation. A sign crew installed three new signs, two of which are on US 70 approaching Main Street in the vicinity of the old Dairy King restaurant; and a third sign was placed on Lombard Street & NC 42 at Hamby Street. Three additional signs are to be shared with the Chamber of Commerce signs on eastbound and westbound US 70 at Robertson Street and just before the intersection of Robertson and West Main Street.
Clayton’s Downtown Development Coordinator Bruce Naegelen said the new directional signs are something that has been needed for some time. He said that, “As US 70 has developed commercially, new residents and visitors, have made the assumption that US 70 is the central business district. These signs help define where downtown Clayton is.”
Naegelen said he began discussions with NC DOT about the signs in early February and is pleased with the length of time it took to get them up. He said, “The DOT has a lot on their plate and they were able to get to this done in a very timely manner.” He said he hopes the additional signs are fabricated and installed fairly soon, too.
