Updates on Patton Ave. Projects

Below are project updates for the Patton Ave. Corridor: 

Carter-Ann-Patton Stormwater Project Update

We’re making significant progress on the installation of the new stormwater system along Patton Avenue and Carter Street. Here’s what to expect in the coming weeks:

• Lane Closures: Until the roadway is ready for repaving, there will be intermittent lane closures in the area as crews finalize the stormwater system installation.

• Traffic Flow Update: Starting next week, traffic will be maintained in both directions along Patton Avenue, which should help ease travel in the area.

• Paving and Concrete Work: Final paving and concrete work will depend on weather conditions, and we’ll provide updates as timelines become clearer.

Thank you for your patience as we work to improve the stormwater infrastructure in this area. Please drive with caution and watch for crews as they complete the remaining work.

Patton Avenue Sidewalk Accessibility Project Update

Crews have completed pouring concrete for the ramp in front of Thirsty Monk. While there’s still some work to be done, we’re making steady progress towards project completion:

• Next Steps: Striping and pedestrian signal work will occur at the intersection of Patton Ave. and Coxe Ave. soon.

• Additional Work: Replacement tree grates and tree planting will be installed as materials and weather allow.

As with any construction project, work can be impacted by weather, causing additional delays.

The City of Asheville is committed to keeping you informed as work progresses. For more information and future updates, please visit the Carter Ann Patton project page or the Patton Ave. Sidewalk Project page.

Thank you for your patience and support as we complete this essential work.
