The City of Asheville has posted an update to our New Haw Creek Road sidewalk project.  Please read on for a progress report and update on summer hours for lane closures:

Current Progress and Next Steps

The New Haw Creek Sidewalk project continues to move along and remains on track for completion in late 2026. We're happy to report that the project team has reached significant milestones:

• Underground Stormwater Work: 100% Completed
  
• Retaining Walls: Nearly finished
  
• What's Next: Crews will transition into surface work (which means we will start seeing the actual sidewalk take shape!)
  

Summer Schedule Changes (Starting June 11)

To accelerate construction progress while school is out, the contractor will implement longer lane closure hours throughout the summer months. When schools start again in August, the contractor will resume the normal schedule with no lane closures from 7 a.m. - 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. - 6 p.m.

We appreciate your continued patience and caution while driving through the work zone as we build a safer, more walkable community!
