A Cleveland Public Works crew cuts a drainage ditch on a new section of the Cleveland/Bradley Greenway on September 11, 2010.CLEVELAND, Tenn. — A new bridge now is open to extend the Cleveland-Bradley County Greenway along Mouse Creek.
A ceremony at Tinsley Park this week marked the fourth phase of the greenway.
On Nov. 12, a pedestrian bridge was lowered into place near the intersection of Mouse Creek Road and Mimosa Drive. The 80-foot span links Phase 4 of the greenway, which begins at Mohawk Drive near Home Depot and ends at the bridge now at Tinsley Park, with phase five.
Cameron Fisher, Greenway board chairman, said Phase 5 is scheduled for construction in 2011. That phase will extend the greenway from the new bridge to Raider Drive, where the greenway now ends.
When completed, the five sections will be nearly four miles in length, Fisher said.
