The Mine Creek Trail is located in north Raleigh and parallels Mine Creek between Sawmill Road and the Crabtree Creek Trail just north of I-440. The trail is approximately 4 miles in length and is an important north-south connection within the Capital Area Greenway System.

Staff is currently coordinating improvements to a section of the Mine Creek Trail, particularly to address two aged pedestrian structures (#32 and #33) and the adjacent trail facility. These structures and trails are located south of W. Millbrook Road, downstream of Shelley Lake. The structures were originally constructed in the late 1970’s and although have been maintained, the structures have reached their lifespan and are in need of full replacement.

During the May 7, 2024 City Council meeting, the Council authorized staff to move forward to include the replacement of structures 32 and 33 as part of the 2022 Parks Bond Mine Creek Greenway Project.
