Description

The City of Raleigh initiated the Buck Jones Road Widening project and it was authorized as part of the 2008-09 Capital Improvement Program.

The plans include widening Buck Jones Road to a three-lane roadway. The 1.4 mile stretch in question begins near Farm Gate Road to Xebec Way, near Jones Franklin Road. The proposed improvements also include:

  • Sidewalks (on both sides)
  • Bicycle lanes
  • Curbs and gutters
  • Culvert replacement near Bashford Road
  • New streetlights

According to the City of Raleigh, the goal of this project is to address Buck Jones “inadequate turn lane accommodations,” improve access to southwest Raleigh, increase pedestrian mobility and safety and prepare for future traffic volumes.

In 2007, Buck Jones was the site of a deadly pedestrian accident when a car ran off the road and hit two men at a bus stop.

Currently Buck Jones Road sees approximately 10,400 vehicles per day, but that number is expected to increase to 12,800 by 2035.
