It will be used for major road and safety improvements.The three-year repaving and rehabilitation program will improve the condition of 24 miles of the BRP from milepost 97 at Blackhorse Gap to milepost 121 near U.S. 220 in Roanoke. Park officials said the project includes slope stabilization, road resurfacing, and repair or replacement of draining structures.Crews will also work on walkers, shoulders, guardrails, stone walls, overlooks, pavements markings, and signage.The stretch of the Parkway set to undergo these improvements is entirely within the Sixth Congressional District represented by Ben Cline.So a smoother and safer road, improved overlooks, repair and construction jobs for Clines constituents, a more enjoyable experience for visitors from outside the region and local people alike, a boost to nearby businesses. Whats not to like Interestingly there has been no mention of this on Clines congressional website or on his Facebook or X accounts.Perhaps thats because he聽voted NO聽in 2020 on the Great American Outdoors Act.Gene Zitver is the editor of ClineWatch.

I know our guys will come out and play loose and aggressive like they have this entire postseason, and Im looking forward to seeing them come out and compete tomorrow night.Q. I remember you mentioned coming back to Game 2 of the Super Regional and how you were as calm as youve ever been going into that game against elimination. Do you have a similar feeling today, and if so, why COACH OCONNOR: I did, because I know the bounce back that this team has shown all year long.
