MORE THAN 11 MONTHS AGO, HURRICANE HELENE\u2019S FLOODING IN THE PIGEON RIVER GORGE WASHED AWAY PARTS OF INTERSTATE 40 NEAR THE NORTH CAROLINA TENNESSEE STATE LINE. THE INTERSTATE HAS PARTIALLY REOPENED IN THE MONTHS SINCE, RECONNECTING THE TWO STATES, AS OUR REY LLERENA REPORTS, ENGINEERS ARE NOW PUSHING FORWARD WITH PERMANENT REPAIRS. I AM STANDING WHERE NCDOT CREWS ARE CURRENTLY BUILDING A TEMPORARY BRIDGE. ENGINEERS SAY THEY\u2019RE USING LOCAL ROCK FROM ACROSS THE RIVER TO HELP REBUILD I-40. NCDOT SAYS BY USING NEARBY ROCK, IT WILL SAVE BOTH TIME AND MONEY. IN THE MONTHS FOLLOWING. HELENE ENGINEERS USE TEMPORARY SOIL NAIL WALLS TO STABILIZE THE ROADWAY, ALLOWING IT TO PARTIALLY REOPEN TO TRAFFIC IN MARCH. STARTING IN THE FALL, ENGINEERS SAY THEY WILL BEGIN CONSTRUCTION ON TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF RETAINING WALLS TO REINFORCE THE INTERSTATE AND MAKE IT MORE RESILIENT. THE DISTANCE TO THE RIVER HERE PLAYS A BIG PART IN WHAT WE PUT BACK AS FAR AS RESILIENCY AND WALL TYPE, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN RESIST ANY TYPE OF LARGE, NOT JUST LEAN EVENT, BUT ANY LARGE RAIN EVENT FOR ANY REASON. IN SOME AREAS, THEY SAY THE WALLS COULD BE UP TO 30FT THICK. NCDOT SAYS FULLY REBUILDING I-40 IS ESTIMATED TO COST ABOUT $1.36 BILLION. ENGINEERS SAY DRIVERS SHOULD EXPECT DELAYS ON THE INTERSTATE AS PART OF LABOR DAY WEEKEND. NCDOT ESTIMATES IT WILL BE UNTIL 2028. UNTIL ALL OF THIS CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETE.

IT WAS THE ONLY PLACE, AS YOU MENTIONED, WHERE BLACK PEOPLE COULD GATHER IN GREENVILLE. AND UNLIKE ITS SISTER SPACES, MAYBERRY PARK WAS TAKEN CARE OF BY THOSE LIVING IN SOUTH AND WEST GREENVILLE, PREDOMINANTLY BLACK COMMUNITIES. AFTER YEARS OF DISREPAIR, IT\u2019S BEEN REPLENISHED AND THE COMMUNITY SAYS IT\u2019S TO A LEVEL THAT THEY NEVER SAW COMING. BUT THEY\u2019RE THANKFUL THIS, FOR THEM IS IMMENSE. PROGRESS BEING MADE.
