Partial closure of Beargrass Creek trail coming Aug. 7 for MSD project

A portion of the Beargrass Creek Greenway trail will be closed beginning Aug. 7 for approximately 2.5 years as the Metropolitan Sewer District constructs the I-64 and Grinstead CSO Basin in the vicinity.

A map of the closure can be found here. 

The closure stretch is approximately 0.2 miles. Cyclists and hikers will not be able to travel west on the Greenway trail from the access point at Lexington Road and Grinstead Drive. To access the open portion of the trail, users will have to use the western access point near Payne Street.

From that point, approximately 0.6 miles of the trail will be open, but users will be forced to turn around near the construction area near Lexington Road and Grinstead Drive for the duration of the project.
