All American work progresses as Fort Bragg eyes next road project

FORT BRAGG — Work on the All American Freeway continues as Fort Bragg officials tackle another road on post and prepare for the installation's next major project once the All American is complete. Officials provided a brief update on the All American work during a quarterly Community Action Council meeting on Nov. 4. The project, estimated to cost $22 million , will replace the 50-year-old Gruber Road bridge over the All American Freeway and repair areas where the freeway has settled on Fort Bragg, near the Rock Merritt Road exit and freeway between Gruber and Zabitosky roads. Fort Bragg is working with the North Carolina Department of Transportation on the project, which started in July and is expected to take 18 to 24 months to complete. Crews are in the midst of dynamic compaction on the roadway, where a 50,000-pound weight is being used to compact the area that will be under the asphalt, Jeffrey Williamson, director of Fort Bragg’s Directorate of Public Works, said at the Nov. 4 meeting. Crews started removing about 12 layers of asphalt in August to address roadbed settlement. Williamson said the dynamic compaction work should be completed by the end of January. The road

Waymo eyes Raleigh, Durham for self-driving taxis after Charlotte. What to know

Waymo told a Raleigh transportation audience last week that it is in active talks with Triangle governments about bringing its autonomous taxi service to the area. The company plans to launch first in Charlotte, likely by late next year. FULL STORY: Will Waymo come to the Triangle? What a company rep said in Raleigh this week Here are key takeaways: Rich Harrington, a policy adviser for Waymo, told attendees at the N.C. Department of Transportation’s annual Transportation Summit that the company is in “active conversations” with local governments in Raleigh and the Research Triangle. He did not name which ones or give a timetable. Charlotte comes first. Waymo has finished digitally mapping streets in Charlotte and is testing cars there with human drivers behind the wheel, Harrington said, with service expected to start in and around the uptown core by late next year. Safety is central to Waymo’s pitch. Harrington said the company has logged 270 million fully autonomous miles and claims a 92% reduction in serious crashes compared with human drivers in the same cities. State law is already in place. The General Assembly passed a bill in 2017 permitting fully autonomous vehicles and barring local governments from adding

Triangle man got a $90 parking ticket in Raleigh. How he got the fine dismissed

A man who parked legally on a Raleigh street still received a $90 notice from a private parking management company. But he was able to fight the citation and got it dismissed. Full story: Man got a $90 ticket parking legally on a Raleigh street. He fought back — and won. Here’s what happened and what you can do if you have a similar experience: Jerry Canterbury found a notice of noncompliance from Parking Revenue Recovery Services on his car in late September, demanding $90 within 30 days. He had photos showing he was parked within painted lines on a public street, not in the private lot PRRS manages. Canterbury disputed the ticket online, reported it to Raleigh’s parking division and alerted the state Department of Justice. On Oct. 1, the city’s transportation department told Canterbury that the citation would be dismissed. PRRS has received more than 900 complaints from customers on the Better Business Bureau in the past 12 months. In 2023, the Colorado attorney general settled with the company, after it charged fines of $80 to $88 to drivers for issues including entering license plates incorrectly and missing 15-minute grace periods.

NCDOT begins work on another new railroad bridge, this time in Wake Forest

The N.C. Department of Transportation is gradually eliminating railroad crossings in Wake County, as it begins building a new passenger rail link between Raleigh, Richmond, Virginia, and the Northeast. Now that effort reaches Wake Forest, where construction begins soon on a bridge that will carry Rogers Road over the railroad tracks that Amtrak trains will use in the future. The $46.2 million bridge is one of four NCDOT is building to eliminate busy rail crossings along the so-called S-line, a rail corridor built in the 19th century that now sees a couple of slow-moving CSX freight trains per day. The federal government has pledged $1.1 billion to help NCDOT lay new tracks capable of carrying fast passenger trains between downtown Raleigh and Wake Forest, the first leg of a line that will eventually extend into Virginia. Blythe Construction of Charlotte was awarded the contract to build the bridge and can begin work as soon as Nov. 30. NCDOT expects the span will be open to traffic by the fall of 2030. Rogers Road will remain open throughout construction, though traffic will be shifted onto temporary lanes at times, according to spokeswoman Kim Deaner. “Residents and businesses will continue to have

Raleigh Approves GoRaleigh Station Study

Following ongoing concerns over the state of GoRaleigh’s Moore Square bus station, plans are now in motion to rethink DTR transit. At its Oct. 6 meeting, City Council approved a Mobility Hubs Study that will examine potential improvements to the existing station—or whether a new DTR facility or decentralized approach makes more sense. Consultant WSP USA Inc. will evaluate up to three strategies: improving the existing GoRaleigh station through crime prevention and environmental design; identifying alternative Downtown locations; and exploring a distributed facility model. The broader study will also look into Raleigh’s hub-and-spoke network versus grid system, including opportunities for cross-town connections that bypass Downtown altogether. The City of Raleigh Department of Transportation expects to return to Council with initial recommendations in six to nine months.
