Building back I-40 one rock at a time.

From the borrow site to the crusher, into the batch plant, and back onto I-40 — this is how rock becomes roadway in the Pigeon River Gorge.

Sometimes this entire journey happens in a single day. See how it all comes together.

[Governor Josh Stein @NC_Governor]

On Memorial Day, we remember with deep gratitude those patriots who died in defense of our freedom. The heroes who throughout our history paid the ultimate price in service to our nation have our respect and appreciation. Let us come together to honor their legacy by preserving their memories, celebrating their bravery, and nurturing our democracy they died defending. May their memories be a blessing.

After Hurricane Helene destroyed the home where Ms. Debra spent more than 30 years raising her kids and grandkids, she found support from friends and family. Now, thanks to Renew NC, the state’s Single-Family Housing Program, she soon will be able to move into her beautiful new home. Stories like hers remind us of the progress we’ve made together and the work ahead.
