Work continues on the McGirt Bridge over the Cape Fear River (US 701) at Elizabethtown. It is a 350-foot Petit Truss bridge. It is the longest truss bridge in North Carolina (or will be when completed). It is divided into fourteen panels. The ratio of depth to length of the truss is low, producing a very deep truss that is still rated at 27 tons. An earlier estimated date of completion was May 2024.

Time for bib overalls and flannel shirt … guess bib overalls are still available. Last pair I had was in the early to mid 50s…
If you are traveling our roadways in the early hours, be aware of farm tractor and trailers and truck and trailers … Farmers moving farm products around…
It’s among the most wonderful times of the year.
Do you have your pumpkin’s yet?

“How beautiful the leaves grow old.”
“I can smell autumn dancing in the breeze. The sweet chill of pumpkin and crisp sunburnt leaves.”
