Boone Trail Highway must stay focus of state road work
The Winston-Salem Journal urges the State Highway Commission to keep forces on the Boone Trail project rather than shifting crews to Boone to Blowing Rock and Lenoir. It argues the Boone Trail is a crucial trunk line serving the Seventh District and the state, vital for interstate travel and regional economy, and must be completed before diverting resources. The paper notes progress on the Watauga end and Forsyth county section and insists no road elsewhere should draw away crews from the Boone Trail.
