City of Paducah says no vehicles allowed on Greenway Trail near Ohio River

As the construction phase for the Riverfront Infrastructure Improvement Project continues, the City of Paducah has some safety reminders for the public.

The current work zone is on the river side of the floodwall between the floodwall opening on North 2nd Street and the floodwall opening on Executive Boulevard. The Greenway Trail is adjacent to this work area. 

Pedestrians and bicyclists are permitted to use the Greenway Trail; however, please use caution since an active construction site is adjacent to the trail.

However, vehicular traffic is NOT permitted on the Greenway Trail. Due to the construction boundaries, vehicles are NOT permitted to travel between the Convention Center complex and the transient dock area. 

Park Rangers and Paducah Police officers will be patrolling to ensure the safety of the public and the contractor’s crews.

For vehicular traffic, the floodwall openings at Executive Boulevard and at the intersection of North 2nd Street and Madison Street are open to the public.

The Harrison Street floodwall opening is a construction entrance only and closed to the general public.
