The real problem here is trying to give city infrastructure to a mountain, a TEMPERATE rainforest. We should be working with the ecology (i.e. adopting concrete that soaks up the rain rather than gathers it). DOT /does/ everything it can, ESPECIALLY SINCE HURRICANE HELENE, but when it comes to structurally sound concrete for potholes regular road maintenance, etc. their timetables are incredibly strained, and as a local I hate it, but i appreciate and respect the time and process it truly takes. They (DOT) were already struggling in the area due to the governmental regulations for repairs prior to Helene, and i had previously noted this before Helene hit us. Town of Boone and AppState have no real control over one another, AND I’ve recently learned that Dept of Transport is STATE owned, so a lot of the time towns have no say over state sanctioned roads. All that said, I do believe this is by Taco Bell, and it STILL sucks that the corporation didn’t plan this better or consider town schedules when moving forward with this rebuild. I know I’ve droned on, but this is truly one of those (un)fortunate moments I’m one of those people to say: PLEASE reach out to your representatives moments, and ask them to adequately allocate the FEMA money/not look over Appalachia when making the budget issues.

Y'all have no idea, I grew up here. You think this road work is bad. It took them 13 years to widen 321 coming from Lenoir up the mountain to Blowing Rock. They have been working all summer on the roads, because in a few months they won't be able to work on them at all, and they are still trying to catch up from the hurricane a couple years ago. At least they are fixing things and working on it and not just letting it run down.

Add to that the overwhelming number of people driving here have ZERO idea of where they are going and it’s literally “stay at home until the first snowfall”. 😂

James Milner, CCIM :
They finished the concrete work on BR Road. This particular delay is because of the Taco Bell site work and they have limited area to do the work thus have to sometimes shut down the lane.

And they do it… *checks notes* every year??? Alright, alright, alright, to be FAIR to DOT, in order to do ANY concrete work they need a ground temperature higher than we have six months of the year, as well as like sunlight regularly to keep us warm and not mess up their concrete, soooo it is a hard game to play in the temperate rain forest that is the mountains of NC 😭😭😭😭

This is when knowing the backroads/sideroads comes in handy. I'm avoiding that area at all costs. 😅
