Construction of the Rutherglen Loops trail is continuing to progress well, and Indigo Shire Council are aiming to have all works completed before Christmas.
Consequently, work on the following sections will commence in the coming weeks:
1. The remaining shared path connection and crossing adjacent Tuileries at De Bortoli.
2. A path connection to Jones Road across Howlong Road (Murray Valley Highway).
3. The connection to Andersons Winery (connecting to the new Jones Road Trail)
4. The connection to All Saints Estate (connecting to the existing Tommy McRae Trail along the Murray River).
5. An on-road connection from Rutherglen to Scion Wine.
6. Wayfinding signage for the entire Rutherglen Loops Trail network.
Construction of the Rutherglen Loops trail is expected to be completed before Christmas.
During this time residents are reminded that there may be minor delays to traffic.
Rutherglen Loops (previously known at the Rutherglen Wine Walk Cycle Trail) is an initiative to develop and expand walking and cycling tourism throughout Rutherglen.
The project proposes to provide approximately 48 kilometres of trails, consisting of both new paths and upgrades to existing rail trails and shared pathways.
The network will consist of a series of smaller loops close to the Rutherglen township suitable for all abilities of cyclists as well as a series of longer loops utilising the Rail Trail to Wahgunyah including the option to ride the river trail, head north to All Saints Winery or travel south to Lake Moodemere, each providing an opportunity to visit cellar doors and wineries along the journey.
The Rutherglen Loops will consist of a series of loops spanning approximately 48 kilometres, featuring a blend of new paths and upgrades to existing rail trails.
