Tropical Storm Helene Private Road and Bridge Program

Many private roads, culverts, pipes, and bridges were damaged or destroyed following Tropical Storm Helene’s impacts across North Carolina. On January 2, 2025, the Governor issued Executive Order #2, which directed North Carolina Emergency Management to administer state assistance for the repair of private roads and bridges. The North Carolina Private Road and Bridge Program (NC-PRB) was established to provide that assistance.
