The N.C. Department of Transportation proposes project P-5709 to grade separate Franklin Boulevard and closure of O’Ferrell Street rail crossing. A grade separation means using a bridge to separate intersecting roads and/or railroads.
NCDOT also proposes project Y-5500GA, which would extend Naco Road from O’Ferrell Street to U.S. 70 (Burlington Road) with rail grade separations at Ward Road and Wagoner Bend Road, and closure of rail crossings at Maxfield Road and Buchanan Church Road in Greensboro.
The purpose of the project is to remove existing at-grade railroad crossings, provide safety improvements, and improve passenger and freight rail operations along the Piedmont Corridor between Raleigh and Charlotte.
A public meeting is scheduled for:
Thursday, Nov. 21, 2019

2812 E. Bessemer Ave.
Greensboro, NC 27405
The purpose of this meeting is to inform the public of the project and gather input on the proposed design.
