April 10 Public Meeting Set for Sandy Forks Road Widening Project

Raleigh residents are invited to attend a public meeting to discuss the proposed road improvements for Sandy Forks Road. The meeting will be at 6 p.m. on April 10 at the Millbrook Exchange Park Community Center, Conference Room #2, at 1905 Spring Forest Road.

The proposed improvements involve widening Sandy Forks Road between Six Forks Road and Falls of Neuse Road. The intersecting streets along Sandy Forks Road would also need improvements to properly align the roads. On Dec. 5, the City met with residents. At that time designs were 25 percent complete. The preliminary designs now are 65 percent complete.

The City will meet with the residents to explain the details of the preliminary design and explain how it may impact them. The City also will accept comments on the designs from the surrounding community.

From 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., City staff and the design consultants from RK&K Engineers will be available to answer questions, discuss the mapping, and review the plans. At 6:30 p.m., the meeting will convene and a short presentation will be offered to explain the project and the designs. Afterward, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and make comments. 

Individuals with hearing impairments needing interpreter services should provide 48-hour notice by calling 919-996-3100 (voice) or 919-996-3107 (TDD). For more information, contact Project Manager Chris Johnson at 919-996-4112 or by email at Chris.Johnson@raleighnc.gov.
