Summerfield south greenway from US 220 to centerfield road in summerfield. Construct multi-use path

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $390,000 to the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) on July 29, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to construct a multi-use trail connecting regional transportation and recreation infrastructure. The project involves constructing approximately 2.3 miles of the Atlantic-Yadkin (A&Y) Greenway in Summerfield, North Carolina, extending from U.S. Highway 220 to Centerfield Road. The completed trail will follow Summerfield Road to Medearis Street at the Summerfield Community Park and connect to the north end of the existing A&Y Greenway corridor.

NCDOT sub-awarded funding to the Town of Summerfield to deliver this pedestrian and bicycle facility project, which will provide users with a connected regional alternative transportation system and recreation amenity. The Highway Planning and Construction program supports such multimodal infrastructure improvements as eligible activities under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, with projects selected through state transportation planning processes. This greenway expansion represents a continuation of regional trail development designed to enhance non-motorized transportation options and community access to recreational facilities across the Summerfield area.
