Project Overview

We are excited to announce construction of the Black Creek Greenway Renovation and Cary Parkway Sidewalk at Black Creek Projects, which began in June 2024. These projects will improve and rehabilitate Black Creek Greenway from West Dynasty Drive to Old Reedy Creek Road and complete an existing sidewalk gap along Cary Parkway over Black Creek.  

Construction is anticipated to take three years to complete and will take place in three phases to help minimize impacts to greenway users.  Each phase will require closing and detouring that section of the greenway while the other sections of greenway remain open. Each phase includes contractor incentives for early completion.

The first phase will begin at West Dynasty Drive and end at the North Cary Park access to Black Creek Greenway.  This phase will take the longest to complete because it includes the installation of a significant pedestrian bridge over Black Creek Greenway on the north side of Cary Parkway. 

Crowder Construction Company has been hired to complete the project.

Monthly Construction Updates

Phase 1 Construction Update – September/October 2024

We have experienced significant rain events since the last construction update. Utility relocations and waterline installation along Cary Parkway have been completed. Storm drainage installation and grading operations are ongoing.  Upcoming construction activities include foundation installations that will support new greenway bridges.

Phase 1 Construction Update – August 2024

Construction activities during July and August have been focused on clearing and grading along Black Creek Greenway and overhead utility relocations along Cary Parkway. The utility relocations are required in order to make room to install the new pedestrian bridge that will be installed next to Cary Parkway. Upcoming construction activities will focus on storm drainage installation and waterline installation.

Phase 1 Construction Update – July 2024

Construction started on June 3rd, 2024. In advance of beginning construction, Cary staff worked with the North Carolina Native Plant Society to relocate several plants along phase 1 of the project. 

Construction activities during the month of June included setting up greenway detours, clearing construction limits, installation of erosion control devices and temporary stream crossings.

Upcoming construction activities include temporarily relocating overhead utilities along Cary Parkway, grading and installation of drainage structures.

Phase One – Starting June 2024
