Louisville Loop Trail Expands by Over a Mile with New Sections
Two new sections of the Louisville Loop trail system have been completed in east Louisville, adding more than a mile to the existing network. Mayor Craig Greenberg, alongside local partners, celebrated the completion of these projects on Friday. The Middletown-Eastwood Trail 2 segment contributes approximately 0.68 miles along U.S. 60, connecting South Beckley Station Road and Bircham Road. The second project adds about 0.35 miles, linking Gilliland Road to the Eastwood Recreation Center. Once fully completed, the Louisville Loop is envisioned as a 100-plus-mile trail system that will encircle the city, connecting neighborhoods, parks, schools, and workplaces, and promoting outdoor activity. Louisville Metro is encouraging residents to participate in a survey by November 13 to help shape the future development of the trail system.
