Once completed, there will be a 10-foot wide asphalt trail and wooden guard rails.

"Eventually we're gonna be connecting our entire region with what's gonna be our corridor along the river greenway, and it's a very exciting time," says Priscilla Cygielnik, city of Roanoke.

The new section will ultimately connect to another section of the greenway near Vic Thomas Park and Black Dog Salvage.
