Flooding closes section of Rivergreenway

To ensure safety the City of Fort Wayne is temporarily closing a nearly four mile stretch of the rivergreenway on the City's east side.

The Maumee Pathway between Pemberton Drive and North River Road is still flooded in some locations.

Last week's flooding damaged the trail, and a portion of it will have to be reconstructed.

Officials also determined the area is in need of repair and clean-up before it can reopen and be safe for walkers, joggers and bicyclists.

Crews will also remove mud and clean up downed trees and limbs on the nearly four mile stretch of the pathway.

It's estimated the work could take three weeks. Residents can check for updates on the repair work at the Fort Wayne Parks' website fortwayneparks.org/rivergreenway
