Regional Trail Updates: CSX Bridge complete, Port Richmond Trail in the works
In a busy few days for the city’s regional trail network, the Schuylkill River Park Connector Bridge opened to the public and partners broke ground on the Port Richmond Trail in Northeast Philadelphia.
Both projects are important links in “The Circuit,” the regional trail network that will eventually be part of the East Coast Greenway – a nearly 3,000 mile green trail system for pedestrians and bicyclists that will stretch from Canada to Florida – and both projects were made possible, in part, by TIGER funding.
