UPDATE on SWALE CANYON closure during trail upgrades:
Start date of closure: June 21, 2024
Approximate re-opening date: May 22, 2025 (but will close again on June 21, 2025)
Except for the Swale Canyon section, the closure while the contractors continue trestle and surface upgrades from Harms Road to Wahkiacus does not impact the rest of the Trail. All other sections are open for recreational enjoyment.
Replacement of the Suburbia bridge (removed following the ’96 flood) is slowly moving forward. Our contact with the State Parks planning office reports the Suburbia Bridge replacement project is slowly moving forward. Due to design complexity and delays, additional funding was required for design completion. Bridge designs are now being considered and if all goes well the bridge is scheduled for completion in 2027. State Parks has also put out a public request for proposals to select a design consultant to start working on the trail segment from the Suburbia Bridge to Snyder Creek.
