MEMPHIS, Tenn — Part of the Shelby Farms Greenline will be closing for planned maintenance later this month.
Shelby Farms Park officials said the work on the pedestrian bridge which spans the Wolf River is set to begin the week of August 21, 2023, and will take one to two weeks.
The park said these are the following detours and accesses to the Greenline between Dovecrest and Podesta:
- At Dovecrest - last westbound access road crossing; no through westbound traffic
- From the Wolf River Greenway access - no through westbound traffic; eastbound only
- From the Blue Trail access - no through westbound traffic; eastbound only
- At Podesta - last eastbound access road crossing; no through eastbound traffic
Greenline users can find temporary routes by visiting BikeMap.net or using these maps from the City of Memphis Bikeway and Pedestrian Program.

“Our goal is to ensure excellent visitor experience in a clean, green and safe park every day,” said Jen Andrews, CEO of the Shelby Farms Park Conservancy, in a news release. “While we always work hard to avoid inconveniencing our Park and Greenline visitors, this short-term scheduled work is an important long-term investment in the safety and enjoyment of one of our community’s most beloved outdoor resources.”
