Raleigh is on the move, as the city is set for a significant infrastructure upgrade on New Hope Church Road, courtesy of a generous $19.6 million investment by the N.C. Department of Transportation, awarded to S.T. Wooten Corp., this improvement is directly tied to bolstering the much-anticipated S-Line Passenger Train project.
Among the features of the project, residents can look forward to an enhanced pedestrian experience with the addition of bike lanes and broader sidewalks ensuring that those on foot or two wheels can navigate easier, and safer. The bridge itself is not just an overhaul but an innovation, a structure designed to vault over the railroad tracks, ensuring a smoother flow of traffic and a nod towards the future of Raleigh commuting.
With shovels expected to hit the ground in January, the bridge's initial phase is eyed for a summer 2025 completion. The project, ambitious in its scope, is looking at a full three-year timeline to see all facets to fruition, as detailed on the NCDOT website.
