the largest state system OF ROADS
in the United States.
The Tar Heel road network en-
braces $4,000 miles OF double-lane
boulevards. regular hard-surfacea
highways and remote rural roads.

rolling hills. through cities ana
villages. sandy lowlands and
swamps.

err all rural roads as we'll as high

exceeds the mileage managed by

This diffuse responsibility means
that roadbuilding is extra big bus

a 100000 secondary road
program just picking up full steam.
