The NCRR replaced a rail bridge that was over a century old.
Construction replacing a nearly 100-year-old railroad bridge in Morrisville, N.C., is complete. The new Crabtree Creek Bridge allows for a future second track to accommodate added freight service as well as future passenger or commuter rail. The project includes the extension of a pedestrian greenway under the bridge, connecting Morrisville and Cary’s greenway systems.
North Carolina Railroad Co. (NCRR) partnered with the town of Morrisville to construct the new railroad bridge over Crabtree Creek, replacing a structure built in 1927. NCRR invested $8.7 million in the $9.8 million project, with the town of Morrisville investing the remaining amount.
