Avent Ferry Road Improvements

We are making road improvements!

The project includes traffic signal upgrades along Avent Ferry Rd between Gorman Street and Athens Dr. We are also realigning the Avent Ferry Rd. and Athens Drive intersection after NCDOT completes their repaving of Avent Ferry Rd. 

The project includes intersection improvements at Glencastle Way with the installation of high visibility crosswalks and the installation of a multi-use path from the existing path on Avent Ferry Rd. to Glencastle Way.

 There will also be two pedestrian refuge islands installed. One near the Crab Orchard Drive and one at Glencastle Way. ADA ramps will also be upgraded.
