Purpose of the BUILD Project
The purpose of the BUILD Project is to transform safety, accessibility, and connectivity in Greenville’s urban core. The BUILD Project will provide or enhance pedestrian, bicycle, vehicle, and transit connections between the Medical District, West Greenville, downtown, and East Carolina University. The City of Greenville intends for the BUILD Project to support its efforts to improve safety, economic opportunity, and quality of life for residents and workers in and around the heart of Greenville.
Project Schedule
Anticipated Detour Routes:
Planning and environmental studies for the project began in the summer of 2020. An informational newsletter and survey were sent to residents and businesses near the project corridors in September 2020 to provide general information about the projects and gather input on the preliminary designs.
These designs were presented to the public at a November 2020 public meeting. Right-of-way designs were shown at a second public meeting in April 2022. These preliminary plans are also available via the Streetscape Projects and Greenway and Sidewalk Projects pages.
