Work to be completed
We are still working on the reroute started in April. The new route will be longer to lower the gradient.
Why work is necessary
The reroute is to go around a couple of sections of 'fall line' trail that is rutting out and to avoid a degraded Ck Crossing.
Trail Care Walkthrough/Preview
The alignment has been partially constructed so you can take a look any time. Please don't ride through as it is unfinished.
