Trails Project Moving Along in Clarksville

The Rails to Trails project in Clarksville is moving along, and a significant part of the project should be completed by summertime.

On Monday, paving began in Clarksville, Tennessee on the city’s new bike and pedestrian path. Clarksville’s Street Department has performed work on the project, which began at the beginning of the year. The first section, North of Pollard Road, should be available for public use by summertime.

The new trails are located in the wooden area in the center of Clarksville, with Big West Fork Creek flowing adjacent to the project. The trail is 10 feet wide, and 3.5 miles long, with a 70-ft pedestrian bridge. The paved trails will have decorative guardrails and will offer a scenic view, complete with picnic tables and benches.

The Rails to Trails project will be celebrated with a public event in the near future. The project was funded by leftover dollars from the Strawberry Alley project, as well as by the profits from red light ticketing cameras. Gravel, asphalt, and other supplies were donated through local companies.
