THE FUTURE
DUKE BELTLINE & DURHAM-TIMBERLAKE TRAIL

This entire corridor forms a crescent around downtown Durham. One can see traces of the southern quadrant along the active rail line downtown. On the western section, it crosses over Chapel Hill Street, goes past the new West Village development, skirts along the old Durham Athletic Park, and crosses Washington Street. The northern section goes under Mangum Street, crosses Roxboro Street, and goes under Avondale Drive. It connects to the Timberlake corridor east of Avondale Drive with a 'wye'.
As of July 2005, negotiations are continuing between NCDOT and Norfolk-Southern for purchase of this corridor.

This is a simplified map of the Duke Beltline Corridor.
