Garden Parkway faces stiff odds under new NC road funding plan
The NC DOT ranking shows 339 projects under Gov. McCrory’s formula prioritizing strategic mobility. Garden Parkway sits about 175th, signaling little chance for funding amid costly competition with other high scoring plans like I-85 widening. Local officials warn the parkway may not be built soon while I-85 widening tops the list for regional needs.
