5/9/14 - A trail connecting the Hudson Mills Metro Park and the Village of Dexter has completed its second phase. A dedication ceremony was held at the Metro Parkâs golf course Thursday afternoon to officially open the trail. The Hudson Mills-Dexter Trail is almost 3 miles long, which will bring the amount of paved trail in the Metro Park to a total of 8 miles. The route includes a 12-foot wide boardwalk and steel pedestrian bridge, as well as an asphalt trail. The project, which cost nearly 2 million dollars, began construction in January 2013 and was partially funded by grants. Assets and Development Manager Michael Brahm-Henkel, tells WHMI the stages of planning through completion of construction required teamwork. Several elected officials, as well as departments involved in the Metro Parkâs venture, were present at the ribbon-cutting for the task that took nearly a year and a half to complete. The public is encouraged to attend the grand opening of the trail, which will be held Saturday June 7th to celebrate National Trails Day. (DK)
