Two new stretches of paved trail are now open in east Louisville, part of the city’s long-running push to build a shared-use path system that eventually wraps around the entire metro area. Mayor Craig Greenberg and several local partners gathered Friday to mark the completion of the projects, which together add roughly 1.03 miles to the Louisville Loop.
One of the new sections runs about 0.68 miles along U.S. 60 between South Beckley Station Road and Bircham Road, according to WLKY. The other adds roughly 0.35 miles of trail connecting Gilliland Road to the Eastwood Recreation Center, giving neighbors in that part of the county a direct, car-free route to the rec center’s fields and facilities.
