To everyone from Winston-Salem: How can we stop the Northern Beltway?

Submitted by Jake on Tue, 05/15/2007 - 3:37am.

In 1989, North Carolina passed the Highway Trust Fund Act, which, among other things, provided for the creation of loop highways around Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Durham, Wilmington, and Asheville. So far, beltways have been completed in Charlotte, Raleigh, and Asheville, and are under construction in Wilmington and Greensboro. Durham has rejected the beltway.

This leaves Winston-Salem, which has plans for a beltway to begin construction in 2011. It has been held up by funding problems and a lawsuit.
