RALEIGH—A viable east
west transportation sys
tem is essential to fur
ther development of North
Carolina and such a system
will be a major
consideration of Ed
O’Herron as governor.
O’Herron cited the tourist
trade and industrial
development as two
benefactors of an east-west
transportation system.
“I recognize the fact that
North Carolina has not a
single four-lane highway
going east-west across the
state.” O’Herron said. ‘‘You
can’t go from the beaches to
the mountains and stay on a
four-lane highway ail the
way across.”
O’Herron pointed out the
‘‘nice interstates going
north and south for people to
go from Virginia to South
Carolina through North
Carolina, ’ ’making reference
to 1-77, 1-95 and 1-85.
“I think we need to put
some to priority on getting
some four-lane highways
east-west across this state,”
he said.
“We need it for the Si
billion tourism industry to
help get people from the
mountains to the coast.’
O’Herron said. “I think the
state needs to recognize this
billion dollar industry in this
state. It has been given lip
service in the past,
particularly when the
Governor of the State gives
the advertising contract of
the State to a couple of his
campaign supporter as the
Holshouser administration
did.
“I proposed last
February, long before the
Republicans were exposed
on this, that the contract be
let as the result of a
recommendation of a
committee that represents
various tourist factions such
as innkeepers, the North
Carolina Travel Council,
service station operator
across the state, all of those
interested in tourism
“We also need better
roads for industry so that
industry will come in, and
they will have the
transportation system
needed,” O'Herron stated.
He pointed out that industry
has failed to locate in
various sections of North
Carlina due in great part to
a lack of transportation
facilities.
O’Herron said the
Interstate 40 is the closest
thing to an east-west four
lane highway North
Carolina has, but that it
services only the western
and piedmont sections of the
State. He said that the
eastern portion of North
Carolina would benefit from
new industry if adequate
highways were availble.
O’Herron also cited the
full utilization of North
Carolina’s ports. “We need
east-west highways to help
fully utilize our ports at
Morehead and Wilmington
in which the taxpayers ol
North Carolina have
invested millions of
dollars,” he said. “Until we
develop a proper
transportation system we
can’t properly use thise
facilities.”
O’Herron said the
government bureaucracy
had has prevented such a
highway system from
developing. “I understand
that eastern North Carolina
U. S. 17 which runs north
south along the coastline
should he 16 lanes wide.' he
remarked. “Four different
governors have each
promised to four-lane it, and
four times four is 16.”
O’Herron refused to cite
particular highways he
would recommend for the
east-west system. “I don .
live on U. S. 64 or 264,” he
said, “and I’m sure people
living on each feel their
highway is the one to be
widened. “I’m no expert and
couldn’t say which
highways needs
improvements, but is is
essential we have an east
west’ system of four-lane
highways implemented as
soon as possible. The
experts will help me decide
what is best for North
Carolina.
“We need those highways
through to develop North
Carolina and to lift us out of
our ecominc doldrums,”
O’Herron continued.
