🚌 One Minute with...Mayor Allen Joines

Mayor Joines says that for Winston-Salem to be truly innovative and progressive, residents need a way to get to jobs, medical care and recreation without getting in the car every day.

WSTA service improvements are now in effect, with more frequent service on key routes, more direct trips and new crosstown WSTA-X routes that connect people to jobs.

You’re invited! Join us for a public meeting on the Old Greensboro Road Bridge Replacement Project.

📅 Thursday, Nov. 12
🕓 4:30-6:30 p.m.
📍 Joycelyn V. Johnson Municipal Services Center, 2000 Lowery St.

The City is planning to replace the Old Greensboro Road bridge over Brushy Fork Creek. The new bridge will include sidewalks and buffered bike lanes on both sides and will accommodate the Brushy Fork Greenway beneath it.

Two concepts are being considered:

- Replace the existing bridge in its current location, with a detour during construction

- Realign Old Greensboro Road to connect with East Fifth Street east of Brushy Fork Creek, eliminating the existing bridge

Stop by to view maps, ask questions and share your feedback with City staff and the project team.
