North Carolina is grateful for every dollar the federal government has put toward Hurricane Helene recovery, and we’re putting those dollars to work. I am encouraged by today’s meetings with North Carolina’s congressional delegation, and I look forward to working with them to deliver more federal resources to western North Carolina. The people of western North Carolina are working hard on their recovery. Their state and federal government need to do their parts.

US 64/74A is open again after NCDOT crews dug more than 20 feet to replace a culvert that collapsed Tuesday morning.
It is currently gravel.
Paving and guardrails crews arrive after lunch.
There will be delays during those operations.
