RALEIGH—The North
Carolina Board of Transporta-
tion allocated the last $10
million funds authorized by the
State Highway Bond Act of
1977 for improvements to the
state’s large secondary road
system here at its February 12th
meeting.
Cleveland County’s share of
the $10 million allocation is
$131,362, based on a formula
established by the state
legislature. According to the for-
mula, each county receives a
percentage of the total funds
available, determined by the un-
paved miles of secondary roads
in the county in relationship to
the total mileage of unpaved
secondary roads in the state.
Cleveland County has 250
miles of unpaved roads, while
the total mileage of unpaved
state maintained secondary
roads in North Carolina is
19,000. ‘
The $300 million highway
bond act, approved in November
1977, directed that $75 million
would be used to improve the
state’s secondary road system,
while $175 million was for im-
provements to the primary
system and $50 million was for
the state’s urban road system.
Secretary of Transportation
W.R. “Bill” Roberson Jr. com-
mented, “Again, we are glad to
be able to put the highway bond
funds to work for the citizens of
North Carolina. It was the
. citizens’ overwhelming support
of the 1977 bond issue that made

these funds a reality.
“In addition to the bond
funds, the state legislature ap-
propriates ann annual amount
for secondary road im-
provements from the state
highway fund collections. We
are expecting an allocation of
$40 million from the legislature
by July 1, 1982.
“This allocation would not be
possible had it not been for
Governor Jim Hunts ‘Good
Roads’ program passed by the
1981 General Assembly,” added
Roberson. :
“The $10 million in bond
funds for the secondary road
system--our ‘home-to-work’
transportation network--will
allow us to make vitally needed
improvements to the more than
59,000 miles which comprise the
nation’s largest state-maintained
secondary highway system,” ex-
plained Roberson.
The higway bond funds
allocated for secondary roads
will be used for improvements to

the system such as new paving,
widening existing paved roads,
improving unpaved roadways to
an “all weather standard,”
repairing and replacing substan-
dard bridges and strengthening
paved roads to relieve present
weight restrictions.”
“In order to utilize the $10
million allocation most effective-
ly,” Secretary Roberson explain-
ed, “Our board members and
division engineers are in the pro-
cess of reviewing secondary road
needs in each county. As county-
by-county improvement pro-
grams are compiled, they will be
presented to each respective
county board of commissioners.
“Public meetings will be ehdl
in each county to give citizens an
opportunity to express their
views on secondary road needs.
The commissioners then will
review and forward recommen-
dations to the Board of
Transportation- for implementa-
tion by state forces,” he said.
