Detour Begins September 2 and Will Last Approximately Three Weeks

The City of Durham's Department of Public Works is beginning the first step in a new trail connection from the Southside/St. Theresa neighborhood to the American Tobacco Trail. A new ramp is to be constructed connecting the American Tobacco Trail to Apex Street. The demolition of the Apex Street Bridge is the second component of this project and will take place following completion of the ramp construction.

Due to this planned construction, a detour of the American Tobacco Trail is required between West Enterprise Street and Apex Street and will begin Tuesday, September 2, 2008. The detour will remain in place for approximately three weeks. According to the department, this detour is necessary for the relocation of an existing gas line associated with the Apex Street Bridge demolition. Users of the American Tobacco Trail are asked to note that the trail will not be passable from West Enterprise Street north to Apex Street during this period and they will be required to use the detour. Signage providing directions to the detour will be posted on the trail.

This closure is the first of two scheduled closures of the American Tobacco Trail in this area. The second closure will be for the actual demolition of the Apex Street Bridge. Details regarding this second closure will be provided at a later date.

For additional information regarding this project, including a map of this scheduled detour, visit the City's Web site at www.durhamnc.gov/departments/works/project_apex_bridge.cfm or contact Kyle Butler, civil engineer with the City's Department of Public Works, at (919) 560-4326, extension 245 or via e-mail at kyle.butler@durhamnc.gov.

Thanks to everyone who participated in Bike to Work Week, and made it out to the Cyclist's Social at Tylers Taproom and Biker's Breakfast at Mad Hatter's. Turnout was excellent for both events (even on a drizzly Friday morning), and the Durham Bike & Ped listserve grew by quite a few names http://groups.yahoo.com/group/durhambikeandped/p/durhambikeandped/

Who knows, maybe you'll recognize a fellow cyclist on your next commute and ask "didn't I see you at...."

Special thanks also to the mechanics from Durham REI for their donated time and expertise.
