New River Trail to be closed for two weeks beginning May 11
Sources tell Columbia Spy that a section of the new Northwest Lancaster County River Trail - from Columbia to Marietta - will be closed for about two weeks for asphalt paving beginning on May 11. Paving will be overseen in part by Lancaster County Parks and Recreation. At this point, it is undetermined whether or not the trail will be open on weekends during that time.
Paving was originally scheduled to begin in mid-August but was moved up in anticipation of National Trail Days Celebration on Saturday, June 4.
More information to follow as it becomes available.
