Ped bridge over I-440 in Raleigh open

Bad weather delayed the official opening of the 660-foot bridge, near
the Wade Avenue exit, for about two weeks.

About 100 bikers, runners and politicians gathered Monday to celebrate
the newest link in the city's greenway system.

A new 2.3-mile trail starts at Meredith College, crosses the Beltline
and passes through the woods until it reaches the hoop-shaped
sculptures outside the N.C. Museum of Art.

Next year, it will expand all the way to Umstead State Park, where it
will hook up with greenways to Cary and Durham.

"I hope in the next six years you can get on a bicycle and go all the
way to Smithfield," Deputy Transportation Secretary David King said.

The new trail and bridge are part of the longer Reedy Creek Greenway.
It cost about $3.8 million, 80 percent of which is federal money.
Raleigh's contribution was $600,000.

-------------------­-------------

I've been watching the bridge construction as it progressed, and I'm
not that impressed with it. For nearly $4 million NCDOT could have
added pedestrian crossings at more needed locations over I-440 than
this site.
