This week on the Down East Journal, NCDOT's 10-year transportation plan lists more than 1,400 infrastructure projects across the state. We focus on major highway improvements in eastern North Carolina and the impact they may have for the region's commuters and visitors. Plus, a large scale sea grass study – the first of its kind - is underway at the coast. And, the Craven Literacy Council is holding a tutor training workshop for people who want to help adults improve their literacy skills.
