Towpath Closed at the Tinicum Aqueduct

June 7, 2017

From the Delaware Canal State Park Manager:

Due to the canal failure at the Tinicum Aqueduct, a portion of the towpath will be closed until emergency repairs and stabilization work can be completed.  After further inspection by engineering staff it was determined that a trail closure would be necessary for public safety.  The towpath will be closed until further notice from the parking lot south of the Golden Pheasant (across from Marshal Island) to the south side of the Tinicum Aqueduct.  The trail closure can be bypassed by using River Road for a short distance (approximately ½ mile) or by crossing over the Frenchtown bridge or Lumberville pedestrian bridge and using the trail along the D&R Canal State Park in New Jersey.
