Now that the Brandywine-to-Tyvola segment finished, the Cross Charlotte Trail will be open from Pineville to NoDa. Crews were working to extend the Little Sugar Creek Greenway from Brandywine Road to Tyvola Road in August 2022. 

The 1.54-mile trail extensions makes it easier to travel between Park Road Park and Freedom Park.

The Cross Charlotte Trail will be a 30-mile-long trail through Mecklenburg County that expands Charlotte's greenways. The trail is part of Charlotte’s strategic mobility plan to make areas of Charlotte more accessible.
