Between the two swing bridges

Lynchburg Parks & Recreation plans to remove log jams in Blackwater Creek along Creekside Trail, between the upstream and downstream swing bridges. The city schedules the work from Monday, November 9, through Friday, November 20, weather permitting.

It says the work is intended to reduce erosion and prevent further damage along the creek.

Watch for trucks at Thomson Drive

The city expects heavy equipment, chainsaw crews and more vehicle activity in the work area, including large trucks at the Thomson Drive entrance. Follow any signs and crew directions.

The notice describes work-zone activity, not a full trail closure or guaranteed access through the work area. Check the city’s notice before heading out.
