Deckers
Creek Rail-Trail
CLOSED:
Greer
Deckers Creek Plant
(mile 9.5) to Sand
Bank Road at
Masontown Trailhead
(mile 13.5)
from
Monday, November 10
to Friday, November
21
Starting
Monday, November 10,
WV Division of
Highways Cenforce
will be resurfacing
the Deckers Creek
Rail-Trail from the
Greer Limestone
Deckers Creek Plant
(mile 9.5) to the
Masontown Trailhead
(mile 13.5) at Sand
Bank Road. This
section will be
resurfaced with
compacted limestone,
restoring surface
that has been
impacted by grass
encroachment,
erosion, and storm
damage. Most of this
4-mile section has
not been surfaced
since its original
construction over 20
years ago.
There is no
route through when
trail is getting
resurfaced. Crew
will be working with
large equipment and
typically from dawn
to dusk. Please
avoid this work area
for your safety and
the safety of the
work crew. We
hope to have work
completed in two
weeks but this is
weather dependent.
Disruptions to work
can extend the time
for the work to be
completed.
Anticipated end date
is Friday, November
21.
The
Deckers Creek
Rail-Trail Restoration
project is partially
funded by a grant from
the Federal Highway
Administration’s
Transportation
Alternatives Program
which is administered
by the West Virginia
Department of
Transportation,
Division of Highways.
The 20% match to this
grant is provided by
the Monongalia County
Parks and Trails Levy
and donations to the
Mon River Trails
Conservancy.
Thank you
for your patience as
we continue to keep
the rail-trails in a
welcoming and fun
condition.
Trip

is happening in a
