Southgate Drive will be closed to through traffic on August 3, 2011 from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. The closure is due to the removal of the old Huckleberry Trail Bridge and the installation the new bridge.

Replacement of the west side steps at the Huckleberry Trail’s Southgate Crossing will begin Monday, June 13 and continue through the second week of July.

Construction projects over the next month may cause minor delays along the Huckleberry Trail starting June 13.

As reported by the Roanoke Times, the Huckleberry Trail is undergoing some “pruning” as they build out the trail and repair a rusting bridge.
