Editing Jonesville, North Carolina (section)

==Transportation==

===Highways===
[[Interstate 77 in North Carolina|Interstate 77]] runs through the east of town. The town is accessible via two interstate exits:  [[North Carolina Highway 67]]/Winston Road and Business [[U.S. Route 21 in North Carolina|U.S. Route 21]] in the Arlington area. N.C. 67 is a heavily used artery, linking Jonesville with [[Winston-Salem, North Carolina|Winston-Salem]].

Until recently, two [[bridge]]s linked the commercial districts of Jonesville and Elkin, the [[Hugh G. Chatham]] Bridge and the newer [[Gwen McNeill]] Bridge, less than a mile upstream on Business U.S. 21. The Chatham Bridge, built in 1931 and regarded by many in the area as a community symbol with its tall steel beams, was closed in November 2005 after it failed a state inspection.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.journalnow.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=WSJ%2FMGArticle%2FWSJ_BasicArticle&c=MGArticle&cid=1128768986728 |title=Winston-Salem Journal &#124; Worn and torn: 'The long bridge' built in 1931 |website=www.journalnow.com |access-date=17 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930180902/http://www.journalnow.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=WSJ%2FMGArticle%2FWSJ_BasicArticle&c=MGArticle&cid=1128768986728 |archive-date=30 September 2007 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The [[North Carolina Department of Transportation]] does not plan to reopen or replace the bridge. Neither city would take the risk of insuring the bridge so it could be saved as a historic landmark.
