SAVANNAH — Savannah residents can now walk or bike between Lake Mayer Park and the Police Memorial Trail without hitting a dead end, thanks to a new 1.9-mile trail section that opened last week.

What opened: A new stretch of the Truman Linear Park Trail now crosses the 52nd Street bridge, linking Lake Mayer Park and the Police Memorial Trail into one continuous path.

Why it matters: Until now, a gap in the trail forced walkers and cyclists to turn back. That gap is gone.
