Briar Creek Greenway: Central to Monroe
Briar Creek Greenway: Central to Monroe
Briar Creek Greenway, from the existing greenway at Masonic Drive to Monroe Road, will provide 1.6 miles of new greenway. Briar Creek flows from east Charlotte to Little Sugar Creek Greenway at Tyvola Rd. The planned project, from Central Avenue to Monroe Road, has been divided into three phases to allow the project to move forward and provide the time needed for real estate to be acquired and for coordination with the NCDOT Hwy 74 and CATS Silver Line projects.
Phase 1: Briar Creek Greenway, Bay Street in Chantilly to Monroe Road began construction in Summer 2025 and is anticipated to be complete in Mid 2026. This section of greenway is projected to be .5 miles long and have access points at Bay St., Laburnum Ave. Chantilly Park, Bramlet Rd. and Monroe Rd. The greenway construction area for all phases will be closed during the construction.
Phase 2: Briar Creek Greenway, Masonic Drive/Central Avenue to Morningside Dr. is currently in design and projected to add .8 miles of greenway.
Phase 3: Briar Creek Greenway, Morningside Dr. to Bay Street is currently in design and projected to add .3 miles of greenway. This phase is planned to include a more formalized and accessible connection to Bay St. The bridge to Chantilly Montesori School is expected to be removed and replaced in a different but nearby location as part of Phase 3, subject to shange.
