New Trail to be Built Along the Susquehanna River in Bloomsburg, PA
Bloomsburg, PA (September 21, 2022)– A brand new river trail is in the works to be built in Bloomsburg. The plan for the future trail is to connect the town with paths dedicated to walking pedestrians and bicyclists. Currently, the town only has very narrow paths and sidewalks along roadways. The trail is deemed to make accessibility easier for the public as it will connect the north and south ends of the town. This will also be beneficial for the town’s assets as it will give the public more of an opportunity to explore what the historic town has to offer.
There will also be proposed parking lots at the beginning and end of the trail for use. Funding for the trail is planned to be provided by the American Recovery Plan to inspire and motivate the public to get outside and get active.
Construction will be done by LIVIC Civil based in Bloomsburg. The beginning of the path is planned to start along W Fort McClure Blvd and end along Ferry Rd. and will go past a lot of hot spots in the town. Mayor Justin Hummel states the trail is going to be a “great addition and beneficial for the town overall.” Construction is planned to start Spring 2023.
