Maintenance crew volunteers are currently conducting major resurfacing operations inPeters and Bethel Park communities, between Churchill Road and Library viaduct, MM 33-34.5. Trail users should exercise caution in this area, since heavy equipment, including excavators, dump trucks, steamrollers, and tractors will be in use. The maintenance crew expects to continue working in these areas until at least early October.
With the closure of Ewing Mills Road from late September thru October, use Hassam Road to reach the Airport-area Montour Trail trailhead near the sewage treatment plant -- named Hassam Road trailhead -- at around MM 1.4.
Streambank protection work is underway along the Montour Trail in the Airport section, between MM 6 and MM 5.3. The work is expected to take six weeks to complete, through early November. Temporary closures may occur along the Trail. Use caution when passing the work sites and heed the signs/flaggers' warnings. Users may encounter heavy equipment, including large excavators and trucks that will come and go throughout the workday between 7 am and 5 pm.
