It sure is nice to see the work on the new road progressing toward spruce pine as well as the section from Jacks Creek to I-26 sometimes you don't know where you are going to be driving on old existing sections of the road or on a section that will be part of the new four lane, and navigating around the orange barrels and old and new yellow lines sometimes are challenging. Along with standing water and the Rough Ride. But that's progress and when the road is finished It sure will be nice to drive on a new smooth road. However many other roads in the county are in Bad shape. And the county is facing other problems with little or no funds to construct or repair. If only people owing back taxes would pay up especially those i read about that owes $282,000,000 would certainly go a long way.
