Dozens of drivers on Sunday afternoon drove nearly a mile past "road closed" and "local traffic only" signs on Glensford Drive to see for themselves: The long-awaited connection to Hope Mills Road at Raeford Road remains long-awaited.

They may be distressed to learn that the parkway's repeatedly delayed opening date, most recently postponed to January, has been postponed further by a failing sewer line. Engineers hope the project will be wrapped up by early spring, said Ginny Inman, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Transportation.

"Once they started working on the construction, they ran into a sewer line issue," Inman said. "They did not want to put a new road on something that would have to be torn up."

The delay suits Glensford Drive resident Daniel Bay.

"The longer it's postponed, the better, because as soon as they open this thing up, it's going to be Skibo," Bay said. Skibo Road is one of the busiest, heaviest-traveled streets in Fayetteville.

Once Glensford opens, Fayetteville will have a major new artery to funnel traffic from Raeford Road and the Hope Mills area to the city's commercial heart at Cross Creek Mall. The trip will be will be shortened by more than a mile and drivers will be able to avoid the intersection of Skibo and Raeford roads, the city's busiest intersection.

Bay bought his house 11 years ago and was unhappy to learn not long afterward that Glensford, then a two-lane residential street, was slated to become a four-lane divided parkway.

Now Bay and his wife have three children, ages 7 to 11. He worries about them with the heavy traffic he expects to see speeding past his front yard. And the yard is smaller than it used to be because of the widening and partly covered with straw where the road construction workers have reseeded it.

The street remains a mess of straw-covered lawns, muddy areas and construction equipment. When it's finished and cleaned up, Bay said, he plans to move away and rent out his home. He's hopeful that eventually the street will convert to commercial use so he can sell it for top-dollar.

One of his neighbors, Sharon Gurganus Avery, has concerns about how well her elderly mother, Josephine Gurganus, will handle backing into traffic out of her driveway once the connection opens.

Sponsored Demolition To16 - Video

The long-abandoned Essex House suffered a collapse before its scheduled demolition could start. Reminder Publications photo by G. Michael Dobbs

City Council President Kevin Jourdain told Reminder Publications he is considering an ordinance that would standardize the way the city handles abandoned buildings to provide greater transparency moving forward.

Part of the long-vacant building collapsed on Dec. 11, damaging a building that houses a beauty salon and sending nine families living in another building into temporary shelter.

At a press conference on Dec. 12, Mayor Alex Morse declined to find blame for the collapse, which he called unfortunate but not unexpected, and City Councilor Gladys Lebron-Martinez said, Its time to move forward forget the blaming.

Morse did mention that three city councilors voted against the allocation of funds and added, Unfortunately, in government everything can be politicized.

Morse said the top three floors of the eight-floor building would be removed first to prevent any additional collapses and potential damage to adjoining buildings.

The City Council had approved an allocation of $1.4 million for the demolition, but Morse said he is not sure if the manner the demolition must now be handled will add to the cost or not.

Speaking on Dec. 16, Morses Chief of Staff Rory Casey said the necessary equipment is still en route to Holyoke. Once it arrives here, demolition will take three to five weeks to complete.

He explained the original plans before the collapse had the contractors build a scaffold around the building and take it down brick by brick. The collapse has complicated those plans.

Right now the contractors are preparing for the demolition by placing equipment within the bakery next to the Essex he added.
