 The proposed design for the Firefly Bridge Over Trail Creek has been revealed! It will bridge the 500-foot gap in the existing trail over Trail Creek at the old Trail Creek/"Murmur" trestle. The recommendation grows out of tremendous public input and detailed discussions involving multiple Athens-Clarke County departments and the Mayor and Commission. The plan is a hybrid design incorporating an exact replacement of the existing trestle with sweeping steel arches supporting new construction on each end.

The Firefly Trail is a community-driven rail-trail in progress. When complete, it will stretch about 39 miles between Union Point and Athens, Ga., connecting three counties and seven towns with a wide, paved, off-road path for walking, running, cycling and rolling that celebrates the historic corridor of the Georgia Railroad Athens Branch, the state’s first chartered railroad.
