Project Overview

Temporary access has been restored. Please refer to the Azalea Parks and Infrastructure Recovery project for information on the permanent restoration of the Gashes Creek Bridge. 

Construction of a temporary road and installation of a traffic signal on Azalea Road were completed in February 2025, restoring access to the Gashes Creek neighborhood, Highland Brewing, and the WNC Nature Center. This temporary solution will ensure safe access while long-term plans for permanent infrastructure improvements are developed. Additionally, City staff restored two-way traffic as a temporary solution on Azalea Road.
