(Radio.com) It's been over 45 years since Johnny Cash released his acclaimed album At Folsom Prison and the city of Folsom continues to honor the late country music legend.

In celebration, this past weekend the city in California unveiled the first section of what will be the Johnny Cash Trail and Overpass. According to The Sacramento Bee, the $3.8 million overpass starts at Folsom Lake Crossing Road and East Natoma Street.

The pedestrian and bike bridge will span a 2.5-mile trail, which will extend through the prison property and link with current trails near Folsom Lake and City Hall.

The project has only just begun, as another $3 million is to be raised to pay for infrastructure for a two-acre park alongside the bridge as well as art installations along the trail which will include a 40-foot steel statue of Johnny Cash.
