Detour on Roanoke River Greenway *UPDATE*

Detour on Roanoke River Greenway *UPDATE*

UPDATE: Work completed!

Starting August 28th, there will be a detour on the Roanoke River Greenway at the Bennington Rd Trailhead. Access to the trailhead itself will be limited and users wishing to continue on ( or are coming from) towards the Sewage Treatment Plant will be routed onto Bennington Rd near the Shell Gas Station near Riverland Rd.

The closure is being made necessary by the construction of a new river access point under the 13th St Bridge. Construction is expected to be wrapped up by the end of October. Please obey the closure in the mean time and look forward to making use of the boat access in late fall or next year!
