We are building a pedestrian bridge that spans over Wade Avenue/I440 and a new multi-use path along Blue Ridge Road from just north of Trinity Road to Reedy Creek Road. The project also includes Raleigh's first protected intersection.

Construction is underway on this project. There may be intermittent lane closures as the work progresses.
 

Crews are actively working on the Atlantic Avenue Improvement Project. There may be temporary lane closures and traffic shifts during this work. 

For your safety and that of the construction crews, please slow down and follow the flagger's instructions while driving through the construction zone. 

Construction crews are actively working on the Blue Ridge Road Widening South Project. There may be temporary lane closures during this work. Crews are scheduled to complete the project in Spring 2026.

For your safety, and that of the crews working on this project, drive cautiously through the construction zone. Please follow detours and signage, and expect delays. We appreciate your patience as we work to make Blue Ridge Road safer and more accessible for all users.

A section of the Turkey Creek Trail at Umstead State Park is closed for a bridge replacement project. During this time, access between Umstead State Park, the Crabtree Creek Trail and the parking lot located at 4924 Ebenezer Church Road, will remain open. Be advised that users will not be able to go north into Umstead State Park along the Turkey Creek Trail from the Crabtree Creek Trail. This project is being coordinated by North Carolina State Parks.

Do not use Ebenezer Church Road as access to the trail systems. Ebenezer Church Road is a busy vehicular road with a speed limit of 45 mph. For your safety, do not cross the construction barricades.

The Complete 540 project will extend the Triangle Expressway from the N.C. 55 Bypass in Apex to Interstate 87/U.S. 64/U.S. 264 in Knightdale, joining the outer 540 loop around the greater Raleigh area. Construction of this project will require periodic stoppages of trail traffic, between Auburn Knightdale Rd and Battle Bridge Rd, to allow construction equipment and vehicles to cross the trail.

Temporary closures will periodically be in place as construction advances. During trail closures, a temporary detour trail will be in place adjacent to the existing Neuse River Trail, allowing trail users to pass through this corridor during the entire construction process. This work will begin in October 2025 and continue through September 2028.
