A 2.5-mile segment of the Great Allegheny Passage will be closed for a major underground pipeline replacement undertaken by Texas Eastern Transmission, beginning July 8. The segment is between mile markers 92 and 94.5. A free shuttle service for travelers and their bicycles will be provided by Trail Connect every 30 minutes, first-come, first-served, between 7:30 am and 7:00 pm, seven days a week, between the hamlet of Adelaide (near the Blue Canoe RV Resort) and the parking lot near Dickerson Run (which is across the river from the hamlet of Dawson). For details on how you and your traveling partners can use this shuttle service, visit www.trailconnect.com or call 724-972-6135. There is no detour available.

Trail Connect is a third-party vendor selected by Texas Eastern Transmission. An exact end date will be determined by the speed of the project and is likely to be in mid-October. Updates and details: https://gaptrail.org/trail-alert/closure-between-mile-markers-92-and-94-5/

We are more than just a stop for a bathroom and souvenir. We know that the trail and West Newton are amazing and we are lucky enough to share that with people from all around the world. Knowing that we are a very small part of seeing that Shunji, and other guests, have successful trips is why we do what we do!
