This »nk is one of the most talked of stretches of highway to be found anywhere in the state of North Carolina, and its building is of great interest to this and other states as well. T. M. Strider, a road builder from Tennessee, has the contract for the construction of this link which is two and seven-tenths miles in length. AJI grading work is being done by machin ery, there being two large motor turnovers, or »uU>in£&!c !cad? rs and dumpers that carry 12 cubic yards of dirt each trip. These machines are pulled by caterpil lar tractors having 105 horse power motors, and built on the diesel style. The only other ma chinery necessary for this grad ing job is a third tractor of the same type and horsepower, a large grader, and a heavy plow. Members of the construction crew estimate that It will take something like two months to complete the grading. After the grading is done, it is expected that the road bed will be coated heavily with coarse gravel and allowed to pack before the final surfacing is applied.
