City of Fayetteville issued the following announcement on Aug. 3.
Part C of the Cape Fear River Trail is now open. Barricades were removed after a year of construction. Part C is the lower portion of the Cape Fear River Trail. It connects Parts A and B. With the addition of Part C, the trail now spans more than seven miles one way. You can access Part C from the parking lot at Jordan Soccer Complex off Treetop Drive. You can also access the trail at Clark Park on Sherman Drive.
Work on Part C of the Cape Fear River Trail began in June 2020. The total estimated cost is $2.47 million. Money from the City’s General Fund, the state and federal government will cover costs. Part C of the trail includes a boardwalk. The boardwalk crosses CSX Transportation property and is located under the CSX bridge. Later this year, a paved path will connect the Cape Fear River Trail with the Linear Park Trail.
