RALEIGH, N.C. (WGHP) — There’s a now a website where citizens can let the state know about needed repairs for roads and bridges impacted by Hurricane Helene.
“Helene caused significant damage to over 8,000 private roads and bridges that often serve as the only access route for many ambulances, fire trucks, mail delivery vehicles, school buses, and for people to get to school, work, and run errands,” said Governor Josh Stein. “If left unrepaired, these critical private roads and bridges pose a substantial risk to public safety, including preventing repairs to people’s homes. If you need bridge or road repair, I encourage you to apply through this portal.”
Stein issued “Executive Order #2” on Jan. 2, directing North Carolina Emergency Management to assist with the repair of private roads and bridges.
NCEM is working to contract services from vendors to facilitate these repairs.
