APPLETON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A dedication ceremony was held today to celebrate the completion of the Lawe Street Trestle river trail.
The abandoned railroad trestle has been transformed into a bridge that spans the Fox River.
It’s located at the Southern Edge of the Lawrence University campus.
The trail is part of a $1 million city investment, and is now open to the public.
“This is a view of our community that is now open and available to so many more people than it ever was before, that is walking across and looking up and seeing Lawnrece University and the city behind it, and seeing the Fox river that runs through our community in a different perspective, this trail really opens that up for our community,” Appleton Mayor Jake Woodford said.
The trestle trail is 575 feet long, and features LED lighting.
It stretches from Lawe Street to East John Street on the North bank.
