New greenways to link RiverWalk to Eastern Market, Midtown, Hamtramck

Construction is under way on more than 10 miles of greenways that will link the RiverWalk to Eastern Market, Midtown and Hamtramck in about a year’s time.

The work includes an extension of the popular Dequindre Cut north into Eastern Market, as well as streetscape improvements in the market, work in Midtown and creation of the Hamtramck Connector bike lanes north from the market to that community.

It’s all part of Link Detroit, a $25-million project to create or expand the network of trails and linear parks known as greenways on Detroit’s east side.
