Woodcroft Parkway Extension Project

Project Overview and Background

The City of Durham is extending Woodcroft Parkway west from its current terminus at Hope Valley Road (NC 751) to a new intersection with Garrett Road, in front of C.E Jordan High School. The project will reduce traffic congestion at the intersection of Garrett Road and Hope Valley Road, and provide a safer multi-modal connection between C.E. Jordan High School and surrounding neighborhoods.

This project is currently on hold due to coordination with NCDOT funding. Timelines below are subject to change.
