Site work for a playground / park / athletic field in Roanoke, Virginia. Conceptual plans call for site work for a playground / park / athletic field.

The West Roanoke River Greenway project constructs 1.4 miles of Roanoke River Greenway in Roanoke County and the City of Salem, from Green Hill Park upstream of Diuguids Lane to Riverside Park, downstream of Mill Lane. The Roanoke River Greenway is a 10' paved, bicycle/pedestrian, shared use trail, with over 14 miles completed. Construction of this off-road section will significantly improve safety for bicyclists, pedestrians and motorists and will connect residential areas to an industrial center. As a priority greenway for the region, the Roanoke River Greenway is considered a critical component of economic development initiatives. This section of greenway will include two bridges across the Roanoke River, a separated grade crossing at Diuguids Lane, an at-grade crossing at Mill Lane, and a retaining wall structure along the Roanoke River below West Riverside Drive. VDOT has completed a Value Engineering Analysis of the project. The Pathfinders for Greenways, a non-profit supporting regional trails and greenways, have approved up to $350,000 in private donations for the right-of-way phase of the project.
