The peak of good living...
Apex Transportation Bond Projects Map (Adobe PDF)
Staff has developed a three point strategy for improving traffic flow, easing congestion and enhancing pedestrian trails. Point one focuses on completing a significant portion of the Apex Peakway (AP numbered projects) to two lanes as a primary alternate route around town for local trips. Point two focuses on upgrading the service level of several key Intersections (IU numbered projects) through street widening, new traffic signals and signal upgrades. Point three focuses on filling in critical gaps in our Sidewalk Network (SW numbered projects) to provide safer and more continuous pedestrian ways.

Description |
Estimated Cost |
Status |
| AP 1: | Apex Peakway: Haddon Hall Connector | $ 2,165,000 |
Complete |
| Extend the Apex Peakway from North Salem Street through to the existing segment that terminates near Hillcrest Road and Haddon Hall Subdivision, approximately 2,100 feet. | |||
| AP 5, AP 6, AP 8: |
Apex Peakway: Southwest Connector | $3,800,000 |
Complete |
| Construct the Apex Peakway from Olive Chapel Road to South Salem Street, approximately 5,800 feet. | |||
| IU 1: | Realign Lufkin Road at Ten-Ten Road | $1,250,000 |
Construction in 2008 |
| The proximity to the US 1 Bridge and the US 1 On/Off Ramp makes the current intersection difficult and unsafe to maneuver, especially at peak hour traffic intervals. This project will realign Lufkin Road to tie in to Ten-Ten Road directly opposite the US 1 On/Off Ramp. A traffic signal will be installed at the new intersection of Lufkin Road and Ten Ten Road. | |||
| IU 2: | Salem Street and NC 55 | $ 250,000 |
Construction Underway |
| This is a high volume intersection at both peak and off-peak hours. This project will improve the level of service and appearance of the intersection by installing additional turn lanes, upgrading the traffic signal, and providing new pedestrian crossings. | |||
| IU 3: | Lake Pine Drive and US 64 | $243,000 |
Construction Underway |
| This is a major intersection which services local as well as regional traffic. This project will improve the level of service of the intersection by installing a right turn lane onto US 64 eastbound and upgrade the traffic signal. It will also add a left turn lane at Old Raleigh Road to improve safety at that location. | |||
| SW 1: | Laura Duncan Road Sidewalk | $ 151,000 |
Complete |
| This project would fill in the sidewalk gaps along Laura Duncan Road which would create a sidewalk connection ultimately from the center of Town to Apex High School . An approximate 2,800 feet of sidewalk is required. | |||
| SW 2: | Olive Chapel Road Sidewalk | $ 246,000 |
Final Phase Under Construction |
| This project will fill in the remaining gaps along the Olive Chapel Road residential corridor and connect those neighborhoods to the business and retail sector near NC 55. This has been an on-going project for three years. However, some of the remaining gaps exceed our normal annual budget capacity. An approximate 2,900 feet of sidewalk is required. | |||
| TOTAL COST OF PHASE I: | $8,105,000 |

Apex Peakway: Villages of Apex Connector | $ 3,600,000 |
Construction in 2009 |
| Construct the Apex Peakway from North Salem Street to New Dover Road, approximately 3,600 feet. A traffic signal will be provided at North Salem Street and at Old Raleigh Road. A bridge will span the CSX S Line. | |||
| TOTAL COST OF PHASE II: | $3,600,000 |

The following projects were originally identified as priorities in the 2004 Bond Referendum. Due to price escalations of fuel, land, and construction materials, these projects cannot be funded. All of these projects will be reviewed with future annual budgets or bond issues.

Estimated Cost |
| AP 2: | Apex Peakway: Bradley Park Connector | $150,000 |
| This is an approximate 250 foot extension that would connect the Apex Peakway segment that is being installed by the Bradley Terrace developer to Tingen Road. | ||
| AP 7: | Apex Peakway: Schieffelin Road Connector | $950,000 |
| Construct the Apex Peakway from NC 55 to Schieffelin Road, approximately 1,600 feet. | ||
| IU 4: | Tingen Road at S. Salem Street | $97,000 |
| Tingen Road is a direct link to Apex Elementary School . This project will realign Tingen Road to tie in directly opposite Lynch Street . No signalization is anticipated. | ||
| IU 5: | Signalization along the Apex Peakway & NC55 | $375,000 |
| As the Apex Peakway is built a number of major intersections will be created. Projects in this category will be focused on adding new traffic signals to the existing Peakway intersections at Ten-Ten Road and Old Raleigh Road as well as adding new signals to the proposed new Peakway intersections. A secondary focus of this project will be to install smart technology for the existing and proposed traffic signals along NC 55. | ||
| SW 3: | Center Street Sidewalk | $172,000 |
| This project will fill in gaps between the neighborhoods along Center Street and the Downtown area. An approximate 2,600 feet of sidewalk is required. | ||
| SW 4: | Old Raleigh Road Sidewalk | $225,000 |
| This project will fill in gaps along Old Raleigh Road and provide a continuous route from the Town Campus to the Eva Perry Library. An approximate 3,400 feet of sidewalk is required. | ||
| TOTAL COST OF UNFUNDED PROJECTS: | $1,969,000 |
