Project Details
Fred Smith Company recently completed a comprehensive resurfacing project on the historic Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh, North Carolina. Spanning 8.2 miles, this project underscores our ongoing commitment to improving infrastructure and ensuring safer, smoother roads for the Raleigh community.
The resurfacing initiative primarily focused on milling and filling deteriorating asphalt along Glenwood Avenue from Interstate 540 to Interstate 440. This extensive effort involved laying down 40,000 tons of fresh asphalt on both sides of the roadway to maintain the road’s functionality and safety. Given Glenwood Avenue’s importance as a major thoroughfare, this project was critical for thousands of daily commuters.
The resurfacing of Glenwood Avenue brings several significant benefits to the Raleigh community:
Enhanced Safety: The project reduces the risk of accidents caused by potholes and uneven surfaces by addressing asphalt wear and tear.
Improved Traffic Flow: A smoother roadway ensures more efficient traffic flow, minimizing delays and reducing commuter travel time.
Boosted Local Economy: Improved access supports local businesses along Glenwood Avenue, fostering economic growth and development in the area.
Fred Smith Company is proud to have contributed to the enhancement of Glenwood Avenue, ensuring it continues to serve the Raleigh community effectively and safely.
