owpath Closure Tomorrow. On Monday, May 3
, the staircase connecting the Centre Bridge-Stockton Bridge’s pedestrian walkway and Pennsylvania’s Delaware Canal towpath will be closed for 24 hours, starting 7 a.m. The closure will allow for epoxy coating work at the base of the staircase. Raindate: Tuesday, May 4.
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.
The towpath between the Mary Yardley Footbridge Bridge, located at Fuld Avenue in Yardley Borough, and the Sommer’s Camelback Bridge,, just north of the Borough in Lower Makefield Township is closed. The State Park will be regrading the towpath to prevent overflows. The work is expected to be conducted between the hours of 8am and 4pm, and be complete by October 23.
SOUTH OF FRY’S RUN (MILE 52): [NEW] The towpath between Fry’s Run/Kleinhan’s Aqueduct and Mueller’s General Store is temporarily closed while contractors make repairs to a portion of the towpath which subsided after Tropical Storm Isaias. The closure is expected to last through Friday Aug 28. This advisory will be updated when work is complete.
