DETROIT (AP) — Work has started to complete the final stretch of a walking and biking path along Detroit’s east riverfront.
That section running 3.5 miles (5.6 kilometers) is expected to be completed in the fall of 2022 and link the Detroit Riverwalk to MacArthur Bridge that crosses the Detroit River to Belle Isle park, according to the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy.
“When we started transforming the riverfront 20 years ago, we had an ambitious vision and our promise was to connect the entire east riverfront,” said Matt Cullen, Riverfront Conservancy chair. “This final piece along the east riverfront is a lasting gift to the generations who live, work and visit Detroit and critical to our long-term vision of revitalization from bridge to bridge.”
