Spring Forest Road without sidewalk

Transportation

Spring Forest Road Sidewalk Project

We are dedicated to improving pedestrian connectivity in Raleigh.

As part of the The Capital Sidewalk program we are installing sidewalks along both sides of the street on Spring Forest Road from McHines Place to Capital Boulevard.

Adjustments to the sidewalk width and setback may be included in the final design to avoid significant impacts in certain areas as needed and determined by our Engineering staff.

Design

This project will install sidewalks, update curb ramps and provide signalized pedestrian crossings on Spring Forest Road between Atlantic Springs Road and Capital Boulevard.

Design work started on this project in 2015 but was put on hold in 2016 for lack of funds. The project resumed in the Fall of 2018.

Contractors are currently grading and pouring concrete for the sidewalk. They are also relocating utilities on East Millbrook and New Hope Road. 

We have combined this project with the East Millbrook Road Sidewalk Project and the New Hope Road Sidewalk Project for construction. Crews are working on Spring Forest Road first, then they will finish the work on East Millbrook and New Hope Road.

History

The Capital Sidewalk program selects projects using a prioritization methodology. The procedure includes studying the City’s Pedestrian Plan, pedestrian crashes, street classification, household income, speed limit, age of the population, density, and proximity to parks, schools, government facilities, shopping, bus stops, libraries, hospitals, museums, and sports facilities. Funding for this project was made possible as a result of the 2013 and 2017 Bond.
