CHARLOTTE — On Monday, the Charlotte City Council is expected to approve nearly $3 million in funding to move forward with the long‑planned Rail Trail Bridge, a pedestrian bridge connecting Uptown to South End.
The project is receiving a $2.5 million grant from the Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization, along with a $511,000 donation from the nonprofit Queen’s Table.
The bridge is designed to improve walkability and provide a safer, more direct connection between two of the city’s busiest areas.
Construction is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2028.
