Portions of Charlotte’s Rail Trail Will Be Closed This Summer

The Rail Trail in South End has become a super popular trail. Many people use the rail trail as a walking path for physical activity and utility to get around, but they will have to plan an alternative route this Summer. A portion of the Rail Trail will be under construction, and therefore, closed, for the remainder of the Summer. The portion of the Rail Trail that is closed is the area between Tremont and Remount. If you love to run, bike, walk, or scooter on the Rail Trail, there will be something you will soon notice. No worries though, as there will be signs in place to guide traffic around the construction and back to the open portion of the Rail Trail. Traffic is nothing new to the South End neighborhood. I drive through the neighborhood every weekday, and there are always road closures, cranes, and orange cones everywhere. The good news? The construction will include some improvements on the trail itself. Once complete, expect to see fencing, landscaping, new lighting, and bike racks. Construction is expected to start on July 15th and will last most of the Summer. https://twitter.com/AustinCWalker/status/1810732641702015180
