Long-Sought Flyover Bridge About To Become Reality
Posted: January 20, 2013 at 4:17 a.m.
Traffic travels Thursday along North College Avenue in Fayetteville past a portion of the roadway that will soon undergo improvement to construct a bridge to allow northbound traffic to reach the expressway and Interstate 540 without making a U-turn at Joyce Boulevard as well as being able to access a developed area on Mall Avenue and Shiloh Drive.
Work is set to begin at the end of the month on a flyover bridge in north Fayetteville that has been on wish lists for decades.
