Section of Evans Street to close as Greenville construction continues
GREENVILLE, N.C. (WNCT) — Construction for the Build Project in Downtown Greenville continues on to a new section.
Friday, Mar. 21, 2025, Fifth Street's intersections at Greene Street and Cotanche Street reopened. Evans Street is now closed and some people at businesses in the area are concerned for customer and employee commutes.
'It's pretty annoying the fact that they just finished doing other construction and now they're just jumped right into doing the intersection,' Tori Garvey with The Scullery said. 'So, it's going to be really annoying for my commute in the morning, so I probably have to get up a little bit earlier and it's going to be a little bit of a longer drive since I have to start parking on Third Street now because of also, the parking prices as well.'
Officials with the city said this part of the road is supposed to be closed for three to four months to add wider sidewalks, brick crosswalks, traffic signal upgrades, site furnishings and street trees.
