PROJECT OVERVIEW

At the end of 2025, Friends of the Riverfront (Friends) completed a feasibility study for the extension of the Three Rivers Heritage Trail from the Hazelwood Green development to the Carrie Furnace redevelopment site. 

In 2026, Friends is launching the final design and engineering phase for the Three Rivers Heritage Trail extension, connecting the Duck Hollow trailhead to the Carrie Furnace Redevelopment Site. Simultaneously, we are advancing engineering for a new trail bridge at the end of the Duck Hollow segment near the Glenwood Bridge to safely link these segments. This work also includes coordination and reviews with CSX railroad related to extending the trail and the new trail bridges which will cross above their active tracks.
