So the trail isn't quite continuous yet.

1. The bridge over the CSX rail is still on hold until DDOE approves the work. It turns out the area near the tracks were technically "wetlands" and the construction plowed over that, which caused DDOE to halt work. I don't know when work will restart.

2. Parts of the trail between the trail and the 11th street bridges are on-road.

3. The portion under the 11th Street bridges is closed while construction on that goes on. This means that even with the promenade open it is basically a dead end. You can enter from Yards Park but can't exit at 11th Street. So I doubt you'll see the rush at 8:01 am

4. Technically, you can't bike through Yards Park (#5 on map).

5. The bridge from Yards Park to Teague Park doesn't exist. Work should begin this spring (#4 on map).

Still, this is a positive step. I thought they'd delay until the 11th street bridge was open...and then delay some more.
