Exit 152 Bridge Logo Medallions
At a glance
Based on auto-generated captions; names and details may be misheard.
- What: placing the city logo as circular medallions on the bridge end caps at the Trollingwood-Hawfields Road interchange with I-40/85, as a western welcome sign. The captions say both "exit 152" and "exit 153"; the exit number is unconfirmed.
- Where it stands: on 2026-08-03 council chose design option B.
- Next: staff submits option B to NCDOT for a final cost; the rough estimate is $17,500 per medallion, two in total (one each side), covering fabrication, installation and traffic control.
Details
- Staff could not find a suitable site for an in-state monument sign on the west side, so NCDOT's bridge work was an alternative. Delaying could add traffic-control costs.
- Council worried option C would be unreadable at 65 mph and that out-of-town drivers might not recognize an M in option A. One member asked about medallions on each lane side.
