Durham Detours Portion of American Tobacco Trail for Bridge Demolition

Detour Begins May 27 and Will Last Approximately Four Weeks

 

DURHAM, N.C. - Users of Durham's American Tobacco Trail should take note
of a temporary detour to accommodate the Apex Street Bridge demolition
work that is now underway.

 

The City of Durham's Department of Public Works is beginning the next
step in completing a new trail connection from the Southside/St. Theresa
Neighborhood to the American Tobacco Trail.  

 

The demolition of the Apex Street Bridge is the second component of the
project and will take place over the next few weeks.   The first step in
the project has been completed with the construction of a new ramp
connecting the American Tobacco Trail to Apex Street. 

 

Due to the bridge demolition, a detour of the American Tobacco Trail is
required between West Enterprise Street and Apex Street and will begin
May 27, 2009.  The detour will remain in place for approximately four
weeks.

 

Users of the American Tobacco Trail should note that the trail will not
be passable from West Enterprise Street south to Apex Street during this
period and they will be required to use a detour.   American Tobacco
Trail traffic between Apex Street and West Enterprise Street will be
diverted from the trail to Fargo Street. The newly constructed ramp will
serve as an access point for the detour.  Signage providing directions
to the detour will be posted on the trail.  

 

For additional information regarding this project, including a map of
this scheduled detour, visit the City's Web site at

Kyle Butler, civil engineer with the City's Department of Public Works,
