Construction has started on the second phase of the Interlochen Community Art Trail in Interlochen. The trail is planned as a 3.5-mile paved pathway linking local parks, schools, businesses and cultural destinations for people traveling on foot or by bicycle.

The project is intended to enhance safety and connectivity among those destinations. The available information does not specify which parts of the route are included in Phase two, where construction is taking place, or how the phase will connect with other portions of the trail.

The trail is designed to serve pedestrians and bicyclists while connecting several types of community destinations. No additional information was provided about route design, access points, construction impacts or any changes to nearby streets and properties.

With work now underway, the next milestones for Phase two remain unclear from the information available.
