Vigo County Causeway Trail Construction Progressing: 

Construction work has been progressing on the 1.1-mile causeway trail that will be a raised concrete boardwalk-style trail along the south side of the US 150 causeway to connect the trails of Terre Haute and West Terre Haute adjacent to the Wabashiki Fish & Wildlife Preserve.  Because of the space needed for the heavy equipment involved in this trail construction, the 4-lane US 150 has been temporarily reduced to 2 lanes as shown in the photo below.  This trail segment is scheduled for completion in October 2021, filling the gap between the current trails shown in blue in the map below.

Airport Loop Bike Ride Event a Success for Indy West Side: 

On October 3, the White Lick Creek & Vandalia Trail Alliance held its 2nd annual fundraising bike ride, this year called the Airport Loop Bike Ride around the Indianapolis International Airport.  110 participants came out for the event, including 90 cyclists on 20, 10, & 5-mile routes and 20 hikers and 12 sponsors supported the event with generous donations and on-site displays.  All enjoyed the nice cool, sunny weather during the tour around the airport's perimeter roads.

It was very good to see such strong support for development of the White Lick Creek Greenway and Vandalia Trail bike/pedestrian facilities in western Indianapolis to connect to Plainfield and west, Avon area and north, and east into Indianapolis. Many thanks to the Indianapolis Airport Authority for offering their roads and generous planning support and sponsorship for the event and for their police force's very effective help escorting and providing traffic security at key intersections for the large group of cyclists spread out around their facility. Also, a big thanks to the Bridgeport Central Baptist Church for making their nice parking lot and facilities available as the ideal staging point for the event.
