Six Forks Road Improvements Options Survey
Six Forks Road Improvements Options Survey
We want your input!
Project Background
During the Six Forks Corridor Study conducted in 2012, the community residents, businesses, and institutions shared their desire to make the section of Six Forks Road between I-440 and Lynn Road a safe, multimodal, and attractive corridor.
The first phase of this plan was identified to be between Rowan Street and Lynn Road and is what the City is currently known as the Six Forks Road Improvement Project. The design of this project started in the spring of 2020, with a budget of $31.3M. However, with the significant increase real estate and in construction costs since 2020 the new budget for this proposed project is $119.0M. This large funding gap cannot be addressed with the City’s current funding resources.
What does this mean?
City staff has assessed different options for this project. On Oct. 17, 2023, these options were presented to City Council, and now we are bringing those options to you.
The survey is open to responses through November 10, 2023.
