CLAYTON — The Town of Clayton will be replacing the three bridges located along the Clayton Riverwalk on the Neuse Greenway near Riverwood at the start of next year.
Construction is expected to begin this month and should be completed no later than May. The contractor for the project, Crowder Construction Co., has begun some preliminary work in the area, so visitors to this portion of the greenway will notice some additional signage and erosion control measures already in place.
To minimize the impact of this project on the community, town staff is working with the neighboring Riverwood Athletic Club Homeowner’s Association to create a temporary detour while the bridges are replaced. The route of the recommended detour will be displayed at both of the main closure points on the greenway. A portion of the detour does include travel along a low-traffic neighborhood road, so the public is encouraged to exercise caution while accessing the detour.
Clayton officials note all three of the bridges being replaced have reached the end of their useful life. Their replacement is necessary to maintain a safe greenway.
