Durham Police Chief Makes Statement Regarding Allegations
Durham Police Chief Jose Lopez Sr. is speaking out about allegations against him. Chief Lopez held a news conference on September 6, addressed those allegations, and reiterated his and the department's commitment to the effectiveness of the criminal justice system in Durham.

Work on Main Street Bridge Delayed by Summer's Heavy Rains
This summer's heavy rains have taken a toll on the work to replace the Main Street bridge over Campus Drive. The 63-year-old bridge serves as the main link between Duke's East and West Campuses. It's being replaced with a structure that meets current design standards, including higher clearance over Campus Drive. Because of issues with all the rainy weather this summer, the project is now expected to wrap up in late October.

City Sets Date For American Tobacco Trail Bridge Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony
The date for the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of the American Tobacco Trail Bridge over I-40 has been set. It will be held on Saturday, October 12 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Streets of Southpoint in the parking lot behind Southpoint Cinemas. The bridge is located just west of Fayetteville Road. The connection to the trail heading south will be located in the parking lot near Southpoint Cinemas.

Third Fork Creek Trail Open After Repairs
The Third Fork Creek Trail is open again after having been damaged by heavy rains and the movement of the creek channel this spring and summer. The trail was closed in July between Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway and Cardinal Drive. The trail is located in a flood plain area and was designed to flood on occasion, but a potentially dangerous situation required an immediate repair. The stream bank and adjacent trail have been stabilized and are now safe for use.
