Greensboro's Urban Loop is making great progress in the northwest part of the city. Here we see a section of being constructed at Alcorn Road, very near Northwest High School and not too far from the airport. The NC Department of Transportation was just cutting through the first layer of soil this past weekend. The crow, off to the right, can't seem to figure out what is happening, but he likes the insects and grubs being stirred to life by this construction. Only 15 miles remain to be built of the 44-mile long loop around the city.*
We laugh and say that Greensboro is a 20-minute town, that you can usually get from Point A to Point B in about 20 minutes. However, with a 44-mile loop around the city, it must take the better part of an hour to traverse the perimeter. As for the progress of the road construction, we'll be sure to keep you in the loop! Check back often!
* If you are interested, here and here are some project highlights and history.
That looks like a lot of work.
