Triangle Bikeway East Design Project
 

Preliminary Design

Triangle Bikeway East Design Project is 14 miles of the larger Triangle Bikeway project corridor. This eastern portion of the project is developing connections from Research Triangle Park to the Museum of Art Bridge over I-440 in Raleigh. The Triangle Bikeway East Design Project will look to further advance the design of the project, position the project for future construction funding opportunities, and complete federally required documentation.

    Project History: Planning Phase

    The Triangle Bikeway Feasibility and Implementation study was completed in 2022. The bikeway corridor is planned to be approximately 23 miles connecting Chapel Hill, Research Triangle Park, and Raleigh. The bikeway will connect Triangle communities making both short and long bike trips for work, play and daily errands possible. Ideas from residents, other community members, and key stakeholders helped shape the plan. Agencies across the region worked together in the planning process, which took approximately 18 months.
