Schuylkill Trail East Improvements

A naturalized surface multi-purpose trail along 1.4 miles of the Schuylkill River from Lock 60 in Mont Clare to Upper Schuylkill Valley Park was constructed on an existing Township sanitary sewer easement. The trail segment provides an extension to the County’s regional Schuylkill River trail system and provides a link to Upper Providence Township trails allowing local residential communities access to the regional trail.  Culverts for five unnamed tributary stream crossings, rip-rap river bank stabilization, an infiltration berm BMP, and amended soils BMP for water quality were key elements to the trail design.  The project was completed in conjunction with Montgomery County and with County, Township, and grant funding.
