Smithfield bridge

Does anyone know when the bridge in Smithfield?

 

I'm glad you asked, been wondering about that!

 

Need more words here somewhere.

 

Here's the latest update from NCDOT. The latest story from the N&O said it should be finished in time for the Ham & Yam, but that story was in early March.

Think it got pushed back from April 15th to April 30th.

Do you know when the bridge in Smithfield or not?

 

I will be glad when it opens. I am getting so tired of taking the long way around just to get to JCC

 

which way do you come down here?

from your house...
jump on 210
right on galilee rd
left on packing plant rd
left on 301 thru town
right on the main drag (across from sound station) and jcc is on the right

 

From wtsbradio.com:

Breaking News: The new Market Street/US70 Business Bridge over the Neuse River in Downtown Smithfield is expected to open to traffic tomorrow (Wednesday). The bridge has been closed since September 2012 for replacement.

Neuse Bridge details -

4042.com has spoken with the DOT concerning the opening of the bridge in Smithfield. Please note the following additional information:

- The bridge will open on Wednesday, April 24th to vehicle traffic

- An opening ceremony is planned for 10am. Traffic can begin crossing the bridge AFTER the ceremony (likely between 11 - 11:30am).

- There is still additional finishing work to be completed on the bridge, most importantly, the outside barrier walls.

- Until the outside barrier walls are completed, pedestrian foot traffic and bicycles will not be permitted to cross the bridge.

- Completion of the barrier walls may require restricting traffic crossing the bridge at times.

 

I go down Indian camp and turn on to Polenta
go down Polenta to 210.
when 210 ends I hook around the cemetary and make a right at the Mcdonalds.
Go to the first light (two blocks from where I work) and make a right.
Go past SSS to the end, Make a right on Brightleaf, then a left between the Verizon store and Wilco.
Make a right on the road that leads to the outlet malls and go to the end and make a Right.
Then another right onto College road.

 

IT'S OPEN!!!!!! SO excited to not have to add 30 min to my drive home from JCC. It looks great!

 

It was great coming home from school yesterday going over the bridge. Looking forward to going back over it again this morning

 

Don't take much to make some folks happy!!!

Cut 12 minutes off the drive from Josephine to JMH in Smithfield.

 

Early College kids are happy, too! Now, if only the bus drivers will use it!!!!!
