New Deadend

Well here's the story behind "Previewing"

This project has been in the works for years of course.  But things are finally taking on a more concrete form.

For years this small city has been the last bottleneck on the US 74 "connector" between I 85 and I 26 into the North Carolina mountains.

And now work has finally begun on the new US 74 Bypass.

Here's a look west, toward the beginning of this new highway.

It actually begins up in Mooresboro, several miles away.

And a closer look at this bridge over the "Brushy Creek".

Now let's have a look in the other direction.

Things seem to be progressing in this area as well.  It looks like the grading is pretty much finished.

But wait!

This road is going nowhere.

What  is going on?

Well, between the end of this new road and those trees just ahead is the 1st Broad River.

(The Fuzz isn't sure why it is the 1st Broad… but that's another issue)

It looks like taking a ride here might end in a car wash of sorts!

 So it might still be a while before anyone gets to take a drive on this one.
