UPDATE: This closure has been extended with daily closures from June 1 through Thursday, June 3 from 7am to 6pm.
A portion of the Kingsport Greenbelt will be temporarily closed on Wednesday, May 19 to Wednesday, May 26 from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. with the Greenbelt fully open on the weekend.
The closure will begin at the Trailhead Parking Lot adjacent to the Scott Adams Memorial Skate Park, encompassing the portion of the Greenbelt that runs along the back of Cloud Park and will end at the portion of the Greenbelt that is adjacent to Arch Street.
A portion of the Kingsport Greenbelt, the Buffalo Grasslands Boardwalk, will be temporarily closed starting tomorrow, May 6.
The closure is allowing a contractor to replace some of the decking boards. Due to work only being able to be completed when weather permits, there is currently no reopening date set. Once a date is determined, residents can check multiple city Facebook pages, such as Kingsport Alerts, Kingsport Parks and Recreation or Kingsport Public Works, or the city website for the reopening information.
The boardwalk is located at the Greenbelt access point of Indian Trail Drive Trailhead, which is behind PetSmart.
The wooden boardwalk, built with uniquely treated Eastman A wood, is a quarter mile loop located in a wetlands marsh. The elevated walkway design allows the Reedy Creek floodwaters to pass under it while providing local wildlife, such as birds, frogs, and insects, a good home. Birdwatching is a popular hobby that can be done from just about anywhere on the boardwalk.
City work crews will be making sidewalk repairs along Fort Henry Drive starting on Monday, March 15 and lasting several weeks. For ease of school traffic, work will last from 8:30 a.m. — 1:30 p.m., and the work zone will be taken down each evening.
During this time, the right lane will be closed on the northbound and southbound side of Fort Henry Drive between Midland Drive and N. Eastman Road.
Motorists are urged to slow down, obey all traffic signs and use extreme caution when traveling in this area.
