About this Location

This is a walking path along the floodwall on the south bank of the James River. The 0.7-mile western section  connects the T. Tyler Potterfield Memorial Bridge to the central Floodwall Park. The eastern (aka "Southern") section, 0.4 mile long, leads east from the park to Maury Street (at I-95).

Most of the path is elevated, atop the floodwall. The eastern end is closer to river level, and in some places there are two paths (one atop, one closer to the river).

There are no restrooms at the west end. There may be restrooms at Floodwall Park (TBD).
