Our NCDOT contract crews removed a dying tree in Wilson County and carefully preserved a massive honey bee colony inside it — giving these pollinators a sweet new start with local beekeepers. A hive five to everyone involved!

⚠ Friday Evening Hazardous Weather Update (10/16/26)- Special Attention Coastal North Carolina ⚠ The @NWS has begun issuing wind and coastal flood watches for this weekend's coastal low. This system will likely develop into a Nor'easter, though uncertainty remains high in how long the system will linger off the NC Coast, but this has the potential to be a long-duration event. 💨 A High Wind Watch will be in place from Saturday evening through late Sunday night across Eastern Carteret County, the Northern Outer Banks, Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands. During this time, sustained winds between 25-35 mph are expected with gusts up to 50+ mph. A Wind Advisory will also be in place Saturday afternoon through Monday evening across mainland Dare, Hyde, and West Carteret Counties where sustained winds between 15-25 mph are expected with gusts up to 45 mph. An additional Wind Advisory will go into effect across East Currituck County Saturday afternoon where north to northeast winds between 25-35 mph are expected with gusts up to 50 mph. 🌊 A Coastal Flood Watch will be in place from Saturday evening through Tuesday morning across Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands where inundation of 2-4ft above ground level is expected. Coastal Flood Advisories will also go into effect Saturday evening through Monday night across the Northern Outer Banks, Carteret County, Southern Craven County, and Coastal Onslow Counties. Inundation of up to 1-3ft above ground level is expected in low-lying areas near shorelines and waterways within the advisory area. 🌧 While heavy rainfall and flash flooding is not the primary threat with this system, isolated flash flooding will be possible along the immediate coast through the weekend and into early next week. 👍 Our State Emergency Response Team partners at the @NCDOT report that crews are ready to respond to any impacts to NC-12 along the OBX. You can find updates specific to NC-12 by following @NCDOT_NC12 #ReadyNC #ncwx

Leaf season is here, and more visitors will be traveling through the Pigeon River Gorge to enjoy the fall colors. As work cont. on I-40, drivers will see more night construction than they did last year, it can be distracting. Keep your eyes on the road & stay focused on driving!

Great news: $550 million in federal funding is on the way to North Carolina to support building the Raleigh to Wake Forest segment of the S-Line! The S-Line will connect North Carolinians to more transportation options within the state and beyond so they can get to school, work, or anywhere else they need to go and have faster and more reliable passenger rail service between Raleigh and Richmond. This project is a real step forward for rail infrastructure in North Carolina, and I look forward to continuing to keep people moving across the state.
