RALEIGH, N.C. — Federal funds may help reduce traffic in one local neighborhood.
Congress recently passed a $286 billion highway bill, which includes $4 million for projects in the Wakefield subdivision.
The funds have been slated to widen Falls of Neuse Road and build a bridge to connect the road to New Falls of Neuse.
Wakefield residents said the bridge and widening project would ease traffic on a busy road that runs past several schools.
The N.C. Department of Transportation would still need to come up with more than $2.5 million to complete the project.
