The Sentara Loop is a detour route of the Elizabeth River Trail (ERT) that crosses the Hague and traverses the Mowbray Arch section of Ghent. It aligns back with the original ERT at the corner of Redgate Avenue and Orapax Street, before continuing into West Ghent. At the southern end, rather than crossing York and Brambleton Ave at Hague Towers, follow the pedestrian/cycle path west along the water and go safely under the Brambleton bridge - avoiding all traffic at this junction.

      Trail here matches the published track, but most riders won't cross Brambleton as shown. Just follow the path west near the water and go under the bridge - easy.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
