Bridge construction on the future Interstate 26 has been a headache for many North Buncombe travelers this summer. Those looking for a quicker route to and from Asheville have been opting for Riverside Drive and Weaverville Road/Merrimon Avenue, although those two thoroughfares have seen their share of congestion as well.
Now, the Woodfin Sanitary Water and Sewer District is planning to tear up portions of Riverside Drive, beginning with sections near Broadway, to begin replacing water lines. The project, announced in July, is set to begin later this month.
While bridge construction is scheduled to end in September, any overlap between these two projects could make for some more travel issues for local motorists.
How has this summer's increased traffic in North Buncombe affected you?
