The work at the Robert C. Creel Water Treatment Facility (near mile 11.5 and Greer) will likely detour the trail for one more year and there will be on-going work at the Deckers Creek treatment facility for another year. Event planners should contact BOPARC to coordinate efforts.
Caperton Trail Closure from February - July 31, 2011:
The second Phase of the MUB water and sewage infrastructure project will begin February 1 to July 31, 2011 and will close a section of the Caperton Trail in the Wharf District. The trail closure is approximately 2 miles from the Deckers Creek Bridge at Hazel Ruby McQuain Park to the Robert C. Creel Water Treatment Facility (near the Greer facility- mile 11.5). There will continue to be access to the restrooms and outdoor amphitheater at Hazel Ruby McQuain Park.
Exploring the trail:
There is no doubt that we will all be glad when this section of trail is opened again for use. But this is only 2 miles of a 48-mile trail network. We hope you continue to use and enjoy the rail-trail and perhaps explore sections you have never seen. For Event Planners: Alternative routes might include the Deckers Creek Trail or the Caperton / Mon River Trail north. Contact BOPARC at 304-296-8356 or at www.boparc.org.
Please stay away from the construction area and spread the word to others. Thank you for your patience and understanding. If you have questions about the project; call the Morgantown Utility Board at 304-292-8443 open Monday-Friday from 8:00AM to 4:30PM.
