Railroad Pedestrian Underpass a Big Deal for UNC-Greensboro
Contractors building the University of North Carolina at Greensboro's $5.8-million Railroad Pedestrian Underpass had to coordinate their work with a high volume of rail traffic through the project, which links the school's core campus and a mixed-use development that includes student housing, retail and a 225,000-sq-ft recreation center.
The 30,600-sq-ft project consists of a north plaza; a 166-linear-ft, 14-ft-wide pedestrian and bicycle tunnel beneath a two-lane road and three active railroad lines; and a 16,000-sq-ft south plaza.
