Currently, the East Coast Greenway features more than 1,100 traffic-free miles connected by the interim route on roadways. Whenever possible, the interim route is located on low-traffic roadways; however, high-stress segments do exist. More than 65% of the Maine-to-Florida route is complete or in an advanced stage of development. More details on each 2025 designation are available below.
