The City of Raleigh has 117 miles of greenway trails. In order to maintain high-quality greenway trails for our citizens, the system needs regular maintenance and care. That care sometimes results in closures and/or detours. The below sections provide an up-to-date picture of where repairs, detours, and closures are happening on the greenway to provide you with the best greenway trail experience possible.
It is important for citizens to be able to use the greenways for recreation, commuting, exercise, and play. The City of Raleigh staff works hard to keep greenways safe and open.
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.

Crabtree Creek Trail Access and Parking Lot at 4000 Lindsay Drive, Mile Marker 14.5
A temporary trail has been constructed at the access point and parking lot located at 4000 Lindsay Drive due to the construction of the Crabtree Creek West Greenway project. Please dismount from your bicycle before entering the temporary trail, which is defined by an orange safety fence and signage. The temporary trail will remain open for a majority of the construction timeframe; however, the contractor will close the access during times when heavy construction is occurring in the immediate vicinity. This closure will be necessary to maintain the safety of trail users. During these closure times, please use the next closest available access, located at 4330 Galax Drive.
