Workers with Taylor Construction lay the luminescent coating, "glow stones" made by AGT Glow Labs, on the new concrete section of the Elizabeth River Trail in Jeff Robertson Park on July 1.

The Elizabeth River Trail around Jeff Robertson Park will glow green at night from embedded stones in the concrete. The stones provide light to one of the trail's darkest areas.

It stretches 2 miles through the city and is the longest glow-in-the dark trail in the country. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held Thursday night to celebrate the official opening.

The stones can glow for up to 15 hours at a time. The trail is named after Nathan Hesson, a Vinton city councilman who was a big supporter of the trail, the TV station reported.
