Balfour Parkway Hurdles Funding In Hendersonville Plan
Traffic leaders push Balfour Parkway as a future bypass from US 64 at Howard Gap Road to NC 191 near Clear Creek Road, hoping for funding through the MPO while DOT rewrites studies and permits. The project sits beside ongoing I 26 widening and inner loop street improvements, with a 2020 construction date once rights of way and approvals align. The plan requires interagency consensus, public input, and significant right-of-way costs, amid tighter fuel economy funding.
