As early as this summer, there should be some relief coming to the traffic situation on Woodruff Road.
It’s also going to be cyclist and pedestrian friendly with a 10 foot wide multi use path with street lamps, quite unlike Woodruff Road. This path will eventually connect with the Swamp Rabbit Trail.
Heavy rains have delayed a lot of its construction, although if you drive along Verde, you can see the entrance to the roadway already partially completed.
The road was initially an access road for Piedmont Natural Gas trucks, which has a facility located behind Target, so their trucks could avoid Woodruff. PNG is giving the property to Greenville for this project.
The connector project relies on a mix of funding from the public and private sector.
