Update on B2B Trail
Construction was initiated in the spring of 2021 on a one-mile segment from Zeeb Road to Delhi Metropark, with plans for the fourth B2B bridge over the Huron River. Construction bids are being solicited, and it is anticipated that the project will begin construction this summer. Not only will this complete a total of 4.4 miles of continuous trail east of Dexter toward Ann Arbor, it will connect all three Metroparks within Washtenaw County!
