The Richmond Riverfront Section of the Virginia Capital Trail will
provide the western terminus of a 50-mile multi-use trail for bikers
and pedestrians that, when completed, will connect Richmond to
Jamestown and Williamsburg along the scenic Route 5 corridor. Currently
eight miles of the trail have been completed in James City County, from
the Chickahominy River to the Jamestown Settlement. Thirty-seven miles
of the trail are currently under development, with projected completion
in 2011. The Richmond Riverfront Section, stretching from the Floodwall
to Great Shiplock Park, should be completed by the end of 2008.
