The inaugural ride to celebrate the contiguous connection of the route was held in September 2019.
Currently trail planners are determining the final route to eliminate the need for temporary connections.
MDOT constructed a pedestrian/trail bridge over the M-5 freeway in Commerce Township in 2018 removing that obstacle to continuity of the trail.
Completion of this trail will add to Michigan’s identity as the top trail state in the nation, boosting tourism and generating new nonmotorized connections as communities all along the way endeavor to tap into this vital recreation and transportation artery.
This segment is owned and operated by the CW2 Trailway Management Council, composed of representatives from the communities of Wixom, Walled Lake and Commerce Township.
