March 2021

Construction is finished on the Cross City Trail and the NC Hwy 56 realignment project! The downtown Main Street corridor connects to the added sidewalks on Wilton Avenue, Lake Road, and Durham Avenue to provide a safe transportation alternative.

The Board of Commissioners has also contracted with Duke Energy and Outdoor Provisions Electric to install path lighting and additional street lights on and near the Robertson Creek bridge and boardwalk. Much of the sub-contracted work is complete as the City waits for Duke Energy to complete the final installation.

February 2020

The pedestrian bridge and boardwalks are installed, and crews are growing ever closer to officially connecting and opening phases of the trail. Work continues along most sections with pedestrian crossings (crosswalks and signage) yet to be installed.

September 2019

City of Creedmoor contractors have begun pouring concrete for sections of sidewalk on the east side of the Cross City Trail project. A great deal of stormwater infrastructure has been installed along Wilton Avenue and Durham Avenue, and preparations are well underway to prepare the area around Roberson Creek for the pedestrian bridge and boardwalk.

June 2019

Cross City Trail and R-5707 (NC-56 realignment) construction continued in June. Contractors are making steady progress on both projects. Much of the activity on the Cross City Trail is centered around Robertson Creek and the Golden Pond neighborhood. 

NC DOT contractors have begun work on R-5707 with replacement of underground infrastructure along the project area. This must be completed before removal of the existing roadway and construction of the new connecting route.

Barrels are up and construction has begun!  At the same time the Cross City Trail project construction is occurring, the NCDOT realignment project known as R-5707 will also be underway within Creedmoor’s city limits.  This project is managed by the NCDOT Division 5 and will realign NC-56 (West Lake Road and West Wilton Avenue) at US-15 (North Durham Avenue) and NC-50.  The existing traffic control signal will be relocated northward to the new intersection and additional sidewalks will also be included as part of the improvements.

With both projects occurring simultaneously, residents will definitely experience disruptions to traffic flow and other inconveniences.  Contractors will strive to minimize disruptions and ask for your cooperation and patience as they work to complete these great projects for our community. 

Special effort will be made to keep residents informed of progress, potential detours, and other important information.

Creedmoor’s pedestrian/bicycle/greenway system is dubbed the Cross City Trail.  When completed, the system will provide over four miles of pedestrian and bicycle trails throughout the city. The final three phases of the project will begin construction in April, 2019. 

Construction of the sidewalks, greenways, boardwalk, and bridge for Phases II, III, and IV will likely take a minimum of one full year to complete, depending on weather conditions.  As the project progresses through the city, residents with whom the city has obtained easements and whose homes are along the route will be notified of potential temporary driveway obstructions or other inconveniences.
