City leaders announced Eagle Creek Greenway Trail will be extended nearly five miles, and the project will happen in several parts.

The first part has already been designed. It will extend the trail from Crawfordsville Road to the B&O Trail, and then from the B&O Trail to Washington Street near Big Eagle Creek. The trail will end near the intersection of Washington Street and Rockville Road, near a planned IndyGo Blue Line stop.

The 4.7-mile extension includes asphalt and gravel trails, pedestrian bridges over creeks and streams, and benches throughout. Lighting will be installed at intersection crossings.

The last two extension phases are about halfway through the design process. The $10.7-million project is expected to begin construction in fall 2025 and be completed by fall 2026.
