Duquesne-Waterfront Trail Opens June 17!

UPDATE: The new section is unofficially open, and it is possible to ride it now, prior to the ceremony on the 17th.

The latest section of the Great Allegheny Passage, from Duquesne to the Waterfront complex in Homestead, will officially be open on June 17. There will be a ceremony at 10 am at the new Whitaker Bridge (one of two new bridges used to cross the trail over the adjacent railroad tracks).

Please RSVP to admin@atatrail.org or call (724) 537-6905. For parking, please enter at Guardian Storage (1002 East Waterfront Drive, Munhall, PA 15120) where you will be directed by volunteers where to park.

For us this is a HUGE development, because we will now be able to easily get to the trail from our house without using a car. We can either go through Rankin and over the Rankin bridge (which we haven't tried since the bridge was reopened) or we can use the Nine Mile Run Trail to get to the Homestead Grays Bridge, and then go across the bridge (usually by riding the sidewalk) to get to the Waterfront. From our house we can ride all the way to Washington DC!

Now we just need the last section of the trail finished so we can get to Pittsburgh just as easily...
