the railroad tracks should be taken up in carteret county
There is only one way in and out of Sam Garner Road. What kind of "alternate" route do they plan on having for the residents and buses for these two days? This is going to be something to see how they get around this.
Katie, I can give you an update. Don't expect to use that portion of 14th St. until R/R construction is finished.
