The American Tobacco Trail (ATT) is located in which U.S. city?

In its entirety, the American Tobacco Trail (ATT) project runs along an abandoned railroad bed originally built for the American Tobacco Company in the mid to late 1970s. The ATT is in fact located in the Research Triangle region of North Carolina which covers the City of Durham, Durham County, Chatham County, and Wake County. In total length, the ATT is a 22.6-mile (36.4 km) long Rails-to-Trails project. Its users find that the ATT truly offers them fun, enjoyment, and safety when they are outside performing specific personal exercises. A hope was for this project to be a model for other cities.

Now the ATT runs through the city of Durham, NC to the Chatham county line. It is a public trail that in Durham County is a 10-foot (3.0 m) wide asphalt paved wildlife corridor with loose gravel shoulders. It is open to walkers, cyclists, rollerbladers and wheelchair users, but not equestrians. The ATT begins in the city of Durham near the Durham Bulls Athletic Park, and it is part of the East Coast Greenway. The idea to preserve the land as a multi-use trail came from Triangle Rails to Trails Conservancy which was formed in the 1980s.

In April 2013, a pedestrian bridge was erected over Highway I-40 to connect the northern and southern segments of the Durham County portion of the trail. But because of safety construction errors, it did not officially open until February 2014. Individuals that were first allowed and reportedly used the trail were bikers and weekend hikers.
