Montour Trail
Last updated on: 07/21/2012
For complete details on all construction notices for the Montour Trail please: Visit the Website
Construction has begun on the new bridges that will replace the hazardous road crossings at Georgetown Road and Morganza Road. For safety reasons we will not be able to allow a street crossing at Georgetown road during the construction period ending in late June of 2012.
For those wishing to ride through the area an on road detour will be required. A path has been installed about 1 mile east of Georgetown Road that will lead from the trail to Hahn road through an existing but abandoned underpass. From there a rider may continue up Hahn road to the intersection with Georgetown and along Georgetown to Morganza. Coming the other direction Riders will cross Morganza then continue on Georgetown to the point where it turns sharply left where they will continue straight onto Hahn Road to the path that will return to the trail. Signs will be installed to direct riders as soon as possible.
BEBOUT BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION Detour for Montour Trail/Arrowhead Trail
The 1913 railroad bridge at Montour Trail Mile Marker 32.8 was demolished October 19, 2011. The new improved bridge will be in place by the end of May 2012. The Arrowhead/Montour Trail will have a gap during that period of time. A complex mostly on road detour that was intended for through cyclists is signed
Bebout Road is closed to all traffic. An opening data has not been announced but late April is expected.
Southview road construction area.
From now through May a detour will be in place between Gilmore Junction and Southview road bridge. This is needed to allow for construction of a paralle rail line. A marked detour currently partiall on road and partially off road is signed. Actual detour details may change as the construction continues.
