A long-awaited celebration took place Saturday with a ribbon cutting at the Alcovy River bridge on the Cricket Frog Trail. With the bridge open, two sections of the 14.2-mile trail are now connected. The trail now runs from Lakeview Drive in Covington to Zeigler Road, just east of Mansfield. Newton County contracted with Excellere Construction to renovate the Alcovy River bridge and contributed $400,000 of SPLOST funds to the almost $1 million project. The county also paved 10 miles of the trail, including East End Road to the Alcovy River this month. Those celebrating the bridge opening met at the county's Public Works Department headquarters on Piper Road and traveled by bike or "hay ride" to the bridge site.
