CLEVELAND, Tenn. – Two footbridges were installed Thursday morning for what will become a walking trail circling the front lawn at Walker Valley High School.

The bridges, built by students in the residential construction class at Bradley Central High School, will cross water spillways at two locations along the trail.

Volunteers from Lowe’s joined the students to complete the first step toward what will be Bradley County Schools’ eighth walking trail built this year for schools and the communities they serve.

“It’s something you can look back on and say you helped build,” Bradley Central junior Arlis Robinson said.

The Walker Valley trail will be a 9-foot-wide, paved path that extends about a third of a mile, said Andrea Lockerby, Bradley County Schools’ director for Coordinated School Health.
