UPCOMING EASTSIDE TRAIL CLOSURE - The City of Covington will close a section of the Eastside Trail (highlighted in red on the map) starting Wednesday, June 3, 2026 and extending for several days. The closed section area will be from the corner of Hazelbrand Road and Martin Street to the east side of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue near the Covington Ford dealership.

Due to the location of the closure beneath the highway, there is no available detour route. Therefore, that section of the trail will be closed to trail users while the work is being completed.

The work is fairly substantial and will require the closure to remain in place for several days. The reopening date is currently unknown. Watch for updates from City of Covington, GA - Government and Newton Trails.
