The Duck Trail, beloved by cyclists and pedestrians alike, is getting an upgrade. A 550-foot stretch adjoining the Ocean Crest neighborhood will be relocated and widened from 4 feet to 8 feet, providing a safer and ADA-compliant path for all. This project aligns with Duck’s vision for an accessible and connected community, and is anticipated to be completed by March 2024. Read below for more information.
Adjoining the Oceancrest neighborhood, the multi-use path would be relocated and improved along the east side of Duck Road (N.C. Highway 12) from the end of the existing asphalt shared use path adjacent to 107 Yolanda Terrace extending northward to the existing asphalt shared use path at 100 E. Charles Jenkins Lane, a distance of approximately 550 feet. A vast majority of the multi-use path can be accommodated within the existing Highway 12 right-of-way. The Town has obtained easements from several individual property owners where necessary to accommodate construction and minor encroachments on private properties.
