Need some Labor Day plans? Enjoy the long weekend with a ride on the recently opened Fayette County Western Bike Path! 🚲
This 1.7-mile route connects Milledgeville to Octa, Ohio, and features a historic truss bridge over Rattlesnake Creek. The 1916 truss bridge was saved from the graveyard, rehabilitated, and now finds its new home on this bike path.
A special thank you to the ELR team members who contributed to the salvaging of the historic truss bridge: Angela Fedak, Tim Sheldon, James Walker, EIT, and Connor Slade. We appreciate the opportunity to work with Fayette County and the Fayette County Park District on this project. Great work, team!
