Fall Line Trail will parallel Commerce Road, Richmond Highway

Sports Backers has posted a richly detailed 94-page Fall Line Vision Plan, a look how the new trail could look and be experienced.

The 43 mile Fall Line Trail will connect Ashland to Petersburg, and will run through Hanover, Henrico, Richmond, Chesterfield, and Colonial Heights.

The trail will take on different forms as it passes through a variety of environments. For Southside, the Fall Line will parallel Commerce Road and Bellemeade Road and then follow Richmond Highway into Chesterfield County. This stretch will bring access to Bellemeade Community Center, connect to Goode’s Creek and the future Broad Rock Creek Park, meet up with the James River Branch Line, and provide a river connection for Oak Grove Community.
