Transportation Projects
The City of Brevard works on various transportation projects, many of which are done in coordination with the N.C. Department of Transportation, each year. Search below to find out more about some of the current high-profile projects.
CURRENT PROJECTS
DRV CONNECTOR (R-5605)
PROJECT OVERVIEW & PURPOSE
The N C. Department of Transportation is building a new street called the "Davidson River Village (DRV) Connector" in the Pisgah Forest area. This new road will connect Asheville Highway (US 276/64) and Hendersonville Highway (US 64), a distance of approximately 0.8 miles. The purpose of this project is to provide a new connector from US 276/64 to US 64 as an access point for the Davidson River Village Project on the site of the old Ecusta plant.
Construction will include a roundabout at Ecusta Road and two bridges on the Hendersonville Highway end of the project across the Davidson River. The City has been working with NCDOT to design enhancements to the roundabout on Asheville Highway as a part of the City’s Asheville Highway corridor visioning project.
A donation of right of way on the Davidson River Village property decreased the project costs by approximately $900,000.
