News Around Town: Repairs begin on Tuesday, September 25, on the boardwalk at Country Place Drive on the Four Mile Creek Greenway. These repairs will take approximately one and a half weeks and will ensure long-term structural integrity to this portion of the greenway. Due to the construction, the boardwalk will be closed to through-traffic. The town has suggested two detour routes:
From South Trade Street Entrance: Walk along South Trade Street to Country Place Drive, take a left and follow that street down to the Country Place Drive access.
From John Street Entrance: Walk along the Greenway until you reach the Country Place Drive access. Walk along Country Place Drive until you reach South Trade Street. Take a right to access Downtown Matthews.
Please note: sidewalks do not extend the full length of Country Place Drive.
