Rogers Road Railroad Bridge

Rogers Road Grade Separation— Project #5707

If you haven’t noticed, the N.C. Department of Transportation has been working to eliminate railroad crossings in Wake County, as it prepares for the new passenger rail link between Raleigh, Richmond, Virginia, and the Northeast.

NCDOT plans to build a bridge over the existing rail crossing with travel lanes, a turning lane and sidewalks. Temporary traffic patterns are expected during construction. According to NCDOT, Construction could begin as early as Nov. 30, with the project expected to be substantially complete and open to traffic by fall 2030.

Why buyers should care: Rogers Road is an important east-west connection. Buyers considering homes in the Heritage area and surrounding neighborhoods should understand potential detours, construction traffic and changes to their normal routes.
