Project Overview
The N.C. Department of Transportation proposes to replace the bridge on Trent Woods Drive over the Trent River/Wilson Creek in Craven County. Trent Woods Drive consists of two 9-foot travel lanes, with 2-foot shoulders and a speed limit of 35 miles per hour (mph). The bridge has a deck width of 26.6 feet.
There are two project design alternatives which are highlighted below.
Alternative 1 consists of a 36.5-foot-wide bridge that includes two 11-foot-wide travel lanes with 4-foot paved shoulders on both sides of the travel lanes. A 6.5-foot-wide sidewalk is proposed along the north side of the bridge. The sidewalk would tie into the existing sidewalk located on the north side of Trent Woods Drive (S.R. 1213).
Alternative 2 consists of a 36.5-foot-wide bridge that includes two 11-foot-wide travel lanes with 2-foot paved shoulders on both sides of the travel lanes. A 10.5-foot-wide multi-use path (MUP) is proposed along the north side of the bridge. The multi-use path would tie into the existing sidewalk located on the north side of Trent Woods Drive (S.R. 1213).
A five-mile detour is proposed during construction. This detour begins west of Trent Woods Drive, travels north on River Road and Greenleaf Cemetery Road, east on Business U.S. 17, southeast on Trent Road, south on Chelsea Road and concludes to the west on Trent Woods Drive.

RESOURCES FOR PROPERTY OWNERS
Although the N.C. Department of Transportation works to minimize the number of homes and businesses displaced by a road project, it is inevitable, in many cases, that a certain amount of private property is needed. The following information explains right of way acquisition and answers questions about the process.
