  1. Winston needs a bridge over hwy 52n at mile marker #28. Failure for the county to lease or purchase land parallel to the highway for the construction of a long bridge would be negligence and a failure to discharge an oath of office. There is a very high likelihood that someone will die unless ambulances can access Winston area during heavy rains much less flooding!
