Good morning everyone,

Here are a few trail updates.

 

1) Resurfacing Work on the Mon River Rail-Trail- Opekiska to Pricketts Fort (mile 24-29) has started and will continue through June. The trail is getting graded off before it will have new surface put down. With storms, this means the area is wet and can be muddy. Be alert to equipment operators and make sure they see you before getting near equipment. Starting NEXT WEEK (June 29) surfacing will start getting laid which means some areas will be CLOSED.

If you are planning a ride on this section- consider starting at Opekiska or Little Falls and heading north toward Morgantown and staying out of the work zone. 

2) MUB Repair to a sewer line will have TRAIL CLOSED behind WVU Reynolds Hall starting next Tuesday, 6/30.  We anticipate the trail being closed each week Monday-Thursday until the cleaning is completed. The trail will be opened back up Friday-Sunday. Friday maybe used as a rain makeup day to keep project on schedule. We expect work to be completed in 4-6 weeks.

3) Expect down trees with every storm. As usual, attempt to text me if you discover a down tree and include location and ideally a photo.  Ella- 304-692-6782.
