Good morning,

Please be aware and share- 

Mon River Rail-Trail from Morgantown city limits (trail mile 11.5) to Uffington (mile 13.5) will be CLOSED TODAY, Friday, Aug. 29 but will be OPEN for the weekend and Monday.
Work is continuing on storm repairs and culvert replacement. Be alert as it remains a work zone. Thank you for your patience, we will update you next week.

MRTCentury Fundraiser is now Underway! I hope you will promote and support a cyclist or cyclists as they fundraise for all of our storm repairs, access, and other projects to keep the rail-trails in great shape. Learn more and donate at- https://go.rallyup.com/mrtcentury

I will be heavy on the promotion starting next week. 

There is new Trail Parking along Hall Street in Morgantown near trail mile 9 of the Mon River Rail-Trail. The City of Morgantown has made this area near First Street and Campus Drive safer and easier for drivers and pedestrians with pedestrian crossings, new sidewalks, and 9 new trail parking spots. Thank you city of Morgantown and especially Morgantown Public Works for these newest enhancements!
