Last year, I blogged about how 3.6 miles of the former Central Highway (US 70/NC 10) in McDowell County, NC were to become part of a greenway called the Point Lookout Trail.
This past January, Jamie Sharp, sent me a few photos of the new greenway from last fall. The old concrete roadway now has a fresh layer of asphalt and the kudzu, overgrowth, and downed trees have all been cleared.

The last photo is from Point Lookout. A new flag pole was placed at the site of the former roadside stop that stood here for years.
