Federal highway funds eyed for North Carolina roads
A federal plan allocates about three million dollars for Federal-aid road work in North Carolina next year, with a balance of 8.73 million in July and 2.8 million to be used from emergency aid. Current projects are 77 percent complete, totaling 1.15 million in cost, with 15 more miles approved for 300 thousand. No Halifax or Northampton routes are listed, and loss of Federal highway 171 cut potential funding.
