The City of Raleigh has 117 miles of greenway trails that are located adjacent to various streams, the Neuse River, and its numerous tributaries. Many of our trails also share the same space with our other public infrastructure, such as sewer lines. In order to maintain exceptional infrastructure for our citizens, the trails and the sewer lines need regular maintenance or improvements. Maintenance and improvements can result in closures and/or detours. The status alerts below provide information on where improvements are being made that require detours and full closures. In some cases, an alert without a closure or detour will be provided for information only. The Interactive Map, found below, correlates to the status alerts. Click on the highlighted areas for more information.
It is important for everyone to be able to use the trails for recreation, commuting, exercise, and play. The City of Raleigh staff works hard to keep greenways safe and open. Learn more about Greenway Safety and Etiquette.
Did you know?
Greenway corridors protect environmentally sensitive areas that can be prone to flooding. To provide public access to nature, greenway trails are planned in these corridors where appropriate. Keeping this in mind, flooding can occur unexpectedly on the trail.
If you see something needing repair or maintenance, please contact the greenway maintenance staff at 919-996-4115 or by email or report it on SeeClickFix.
