Construction to replace the deteriorating 988-foot wooden boardwalk on Camp Creek Greenway trail is nearing completion. The bridge between Velva Court and Rockbridge Road is being replaced with a low-maintenance, pre-cast concrete boardwalk product, called PermaTrak.

Due to the topography of the land, the greenway includes several wooden boardwalks. Once complete, Lilburn’s newest boardwalk will be the largest installation of PermaTrak in the Southeast.

Due to the floodplain the boardwalk has been temporarily closed since April. All other areas of Camp Creek Greenway have remained open during construction.

Beginning July 24, the city will be making improvements to various locations between Main Street and Rockbridge Road. Efforts will be made to keep these portions of the trail open during repairs, with occasional short-term closings while concrete is being poured and cured. All additional repairs are scheduled to be completed on or before the opening of the new bridge.

The new boardwalk is funded by SPLOST.
