The North Carolina Railroad Co. (NCRR) has completed construction of a new rail bridge in Morrisville, North Carolina, to replace a 100-year-old structure that crossed the Crabtree Creek.
The new bridge allows for a future second track to accommodate added freight service, as well as future passenger or commuter rail, NCRR officials said in a press release.
The railroad worked with the town of Morrisville to build the structure. NCRR invested $8.7 million in the $9.8 million project, which also involved the extension of a pedestrian greenway under the bridge, connecting Morrisville and Cary's greenway systems.
"The construction of a new bridge that accommodates future growth of freight and passenger service, while also connecting two major greenway routes in the Triangle is a win-win for all involved," said NCRR President and Chief Executive Officer Carl Warren.
NCRR manages 317 miles of track and property stretching from Charlotte to the Port of Morehead City.
