WEST VIRGINIA – A group of workers from West Virginia just got back from going to North Carolina to fix a road that Hurricane Helene had washed away.
Alpha Metallurgical Resources sent a group of coal workers from West Virginia to North Carolina to fix up a road in Chimney Rock that had been washed out. They worked all week.
The workers used a variety of heavy machinery to clear the way for cars and move debris.
Andy Eidson, CEO of Alpha Met. Resources said that A&P gave the miners more tools and workers to help.
In West Virginia, there are people like Charles Dunbar, Darrell McCune, Jimmy Wood, Stephen Boone, Jeff Barnhouse with Rock Solid Construction, Ben Harris, Derek Butler, Bobby Thomas, and Jon Campbell who work together.
At this point, there is no legal way to say when the permanent road from Bat Cave to Chimney Rock will be finished.
