North Carolina’s $11.2 million American Tobacco Trail Pedestrian Bridge over I-40 project connected two major sections of the American Tobacco Trail, providing safe transportation access for bikes and pedestrians to a local shopping mall and other regional destinations. With the completion of the project, an important link in the more than 22-mile trail is now complete. It not only enhances recreation, but also is used as a transportation corridor for pedestrian and bicycling commuters traveling to and from work.
