The pedestrian tunnel connecting east and west segments of the new Flying Creek Nature Park is 85% completed, according to city officials. 

Some components of the gabion wall on the west side are made of recycled glass, they added.

Lighting inside the tunnel will be LEDs that are turned on automatically by motion sensors.

Full completion should be early next month; connecting trails on the west side are under construction  -- and east side's are being designed now.

Yep. They were able to get lots of graffiti practice at the Volanta skate park. They’ll be ready to mark this one up.

Just curious, when will the kids park be renovated most specially the playgrounds to make it way safer for the kids? Some equipments are old and not safe.

Just walked down there yesterday. If it’s 85% done, my name is Mr. Mudd. I would say maybe 60%. Also noticed they appear to be marking lanes for the roundabout and wondering how in the heck this is all going to work. Will 104, Veterans’ Drive, Scenic 98 be shut down completely during all this construction? How will they move the masses?

Completion time depends of weather conditions. All routes to remain open (with bypasses) except Triangle Drive (Hwy 104) according to project engineer.

Publisher, a follow up question if I may. For those of us in the Colonial Acres neighborhood, traffic impacts on neighborhood streets could be horrendous if the 104 closure is not right on Greeno at 104 (Triangle Drive). Do we know where the blockage will be on Triangle? Thx.

Sorry no details yet. Only a general description from city engineer Johnson, about what is supposed to happen there.
