For many years Ashe County North Carolina was a fairly remote area in the Appalachian Mountains with only a few main thoroughfares. Many of the roads were unpaved and private but during this time Ashe County was not a very populated area. Today things have changed dramatically we have four major highways which provide accessibility to the major interstates and arteries. These roads include US 421, US 221, US16, and US88. There is still several dirt secondary roads and private roads as well but you will find fewer and fewer of those these days. 
In 1977 the Ashe County Airport was constructed, sporting a 4,300 feet runway capable of facilitating small to medium sized jets. The airport is open to the public and is located 3 miles from the town of Jefferson NC. From time to time the airport host events which are open to the public. Ashe is currently evaluating an airport expansion project with the NCDOT Division of Aviation, which will provide additional runway length, and corporate hangar spaces.
