Proposed Widening of U.S. 220 (Battleground Ave.)
From Westridge Road to the Eastbound I-840 Ramps in Greensboro
The N.C. Department of Transportation and the
City of Greensboro propose to widen U.S. 220
(Battleground Avenue) from north of Westridge
Road to the eastbound I-840 ramps in
Greensboro. The existing roadway will be
upgraded to a six-lane, median-divided road with
a 5-foot wide sidewalk on both sides.
Traditional intersections are proposed at New
Garden Road, Brassfield Road, and Cotswold
Avenue. Additional median breaks are proposed
to allow left-turns at several other intersections.
The purposes of the project are to address
congestion now and through 2040, and to
improve safety along Battleground Avenue.
Widening the road will improve mobility along
the corridor and is consistent with previous City
transportation plans and the Greensboro Urban
Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)
Comprehensive Transportation Plan (June 2010).

• Traffic operations are expected to continue to worsen as trafFicvolumes increase and improvements are
needed to accommodate these increases.
• Past crash rates are higher than statewide average crash rates for similar roads (576.13 vs. 341.85 crashes
per million vehicle miles traveled). Safety is a high priority for the City of Greensboro as part of their
Vision Zero strategy. A median reduces potential conflicts between vehides.
• The Future I-840 Loop (NCDOT Project U-2524C) is under construction. The interchange with U.S. 220 is
anticipated to be open by early 2019.
• Project U-5306B will improve the U.S. 220/Westridge Road intersection. Construction is expected to
begin in spring 2019.
• The City of Greensboro proposes to add a roundabout at the intersection of Cotswold Terrace and Old
Battleground Avenue. Construction is anticipated to begin in spring 2019.
