This project is a 0.9 mile extension of the 4.1 mile long Covington Road Trail that currently stretches from the schools at West Hamilton Road to Hadley Road. This extension will provide connectivity to Covington Plaza and Time Corners, as well as a sidewalk along the east side of Getz Road that travels north to the Illinois Road corridor. Construction began on July 22nd. The trail contractor will begin at the Durnell Drain and work his way east to Getz Rd before starting on the section between Hadley and the Durnell Drain. The project includes a pedestrian bridge over the Durnell Drain. Substantial completion is expected by 12/6/24 with final completion (bridge setting and restoration work) by 4/25/25. In 2025, the City and Fort Wayne Trails will create a trail hub rest area and trailhead parking area at 7014 Covington Road thanks to donor funds.

As of February 2024, the Fort Wayne Area Trails Network consists of 142 miles of trails, with 101 miles inside City limits. Most of the trails in City limits are planned, designed, constructed, and maintained by the City of Fort Wayne under the leadership of Mayor Sharon Tucker.
