CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

Alcovy River Bridge on the Cricket Frog Trail - Construction is going well. Excellere Construction, LLC has completed the middle span that goes over the river itself. They are currently installing the pre-fabricated steel spans that run from the middle span to solid ground on each end of the bridge. Newton County is contributing SPLOST funds to cover about 40% of the cost; Newton Trails raised the remainder from donations and grants. Many, many thanks to our donors, sponsors, and supporters.

Connecting Newborn, Georgia - Newton Trails, the Town of Newborn, and the Newton County Transportation Department are collaborating on a project aimed at extending the Cricket Frog Trail from its current terminus at Zeigler Road to a newly developing trailhead and park on Timberlake Drive in Newborn. This effort will add about 0.6 miles to the Trail and will result in a trail connection between three of Newton County's five municipalities. The necessary easements have been obtained. Newborn has begun building the trailhead. Cost estimates have been received. This project is moving forward!
