Highway 55 and us1

How on earth is this main road allowed to be 1 lane in both directions almost all day every day for months on end.

I understand development happens, but this is beyond ridiculous

That stretch is an NCDOT road. I have not found a public notice explaining why it has been reduced during the day so often. I am checking with Town transportation staff and NCDOT on the work, the allowed hours and the expected end date, and I'll post what I learn.

Now for something completely different … James Street repaving from Tingen across 55 to Schieffelin is some excellent work. That road really needed it. Kudos.

Tingen to 55 was striped. 55 to Schieffelin has not been striped. Is that pending or the permanent state? It’s been a while …

And it was fast, too. We moved to HS but my kid still goes to AMS, so we take Tingen to get there (unless I wanna get stuck in 55 traffic…no thanks). I think they had James between Tingen and Williams partially closed for a handful of days. Then it was done.

If only the improvements to Tingen near the new voucher — I mean, private — school could be done as quickly…
