Project Update:

A public engagement meeting about this project was held in September 2025. The project team is currently in the design phase, and they are using feedback from that meeting to shape the final design. In early 2026, the project team will be going through the right-of-way acquisition process, securing easements and sending out notifications to property owners in the project area. Construction is anticipated for early 2027.

This design project will improve Holmes Road from Blue Ridge Boulevard to 135th Street and is located in the Martin City neighborhood.

Roadway improvements include:

• Widening the 2-lane roadway to 3-lanes with a center turn lane
• A 5-foot sidewalk on the east side
• A 10-foot multi-use trail on the west side
• New curb and gutter
• New street lighting
