Construction on the Chickamauga Battlefield Connector Trail is moving steadily forward, with visible progress made in just three months. Crews have cleared the trail route of grass and brush, completed light grading, and hauled in and compacted fill dirt. Concrete work also began in October, marking another major step toward completion.
Workers have started applying seed and straw mulch along finished sections as the project advances. When completed next spring, the new trail will offer a scenic route connecting history, nature, and local community spaces.
In addition to trail work, crews are replacing a box culvert on Osburn Road. As a result, Osburn Road is closed to through traffic between Myers Street and Highway 27 for several weeks. Motorists can detour around the work zone via Myers Street and Wilder Road to reach Highway 27.
