Towpath Closed in Raubsville Due to Collapse

Tuesday, November 10, 2020

The towpath is CLOSED just north of Woody’s Camelback Bridge ( Mile 54) due to a partial collapse of the towpath today. Trail users should turn around at the closure and NOT attempt to get by it, as the collapse may be prone to expanding and undercutting.  The level of the water in the Canal has been lowered to reduce any further erosion.

Stairs to Towpath at Centre Bridge to be Closed June 24 & 25

Stairs to Towpath at Centre Bridge to be Closed June 24 & 25

June 19, 2020

From the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission —

Travel impacts for pedestrians and bicyclists: The steel staircase that connects the
bridge’s walkway with the underlying canal towpath on the Pennsylvania side is scheduled to be closed – around the clock — Wednesday, June 24, and Thursday, June 25.

In the event of bad weather or other delays, the closure will be extended to Friday, June 26, as a makeup work day. The closure is needed so work crews can install a new concrete foundation beneath the stair facility.

Bicyclists and pedestrians are advised to plan ahead and use the Lumberville-Raven Rock Toll-Supported Pedestrian Bridge to the north or the New HopeLambertville Toll-Supported Bridge’s walkway to the south as connection points for loop trips between the Delaware & Raritan Canal towpath in New Jersey and the Delaware Canal towpath in Pennsylvania.
