Blue Ridge Road Bike-Ped Project - Construction Activity
We are dedicated to improving bicycle and pedestrian connectivity in Raleigh.
Updated: Oct 6, 2025 - 10:13 am
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.
Temporary Lane Closures
The first closure is scheduled from Friday night, Oct. 3, through early Saturday morning, Oct. 4, when crews will set the bridge span over eastbound Wade Avenue. A second closure is scheduled for Friday night, Oct. 10, into Saturday morning, Oct. 11, to set the bridge span over westbound Wade Avenue.
Reduced traffic will flow up the Blue Ridge Road off-ramp, then rejoin Wade Avenue on the other side. Blue Ridge Road will remain open throughout. A single lane of Wade Avenue will be closed from 10:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. All lanes will be closed from 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. At 7:00 a.m., traffic will resume with one lane still closed. All lanes will reopen at 8:30 a.m.
Please follow detours and signage, and expect extra travel time during overnight operations. We appreciate your patience as we work to make Blue Ridge Road safer and more accessible for pedestrians and cyclists.
