Contractors recently started building just less than a mile of sidewalk along Hobbs Road in Greensboro on March 13. City transportation officials have $14 million in projects underway focused almost exclusively on building new sidewalks in various areas of the city.

Workers smooth the concrete for new sidewalks along Hobbs Road on Wednesday. The work on Hobbs Road will cost about $486,000. Some of the money comes from a citywide bond referendum held in 2008.
