Portions Of Green Ribbon Trail Closed For Safety Reasons

NORTH WALES, PA — Multiple sections of the popular Green Ribbon Trail have been closed due to safety concerns involving trees, the Wissahickon Valley Watershed Association said on Friday.

As residents of the area have doubtlessly noticed, powerful winds have brought down or weakened large trees throughout the region the last several months. This has led to unsafe conditions along parts of the trail.

Tree removal work will begin in the coming weeks, and will continue through the winter.

The Association said that they have not yet determined an exact timeline with their contractors, but will keep the public updated on the progress of their work.

The closed areas include:

• Swedesford Road, south to Route 202
• Fox Loop Connection, from Gwynedd Preserve to the Green Ribbon Trail
• Gwynedd Valley Train Bridge Underpass, south to Plymouth Road

Detours are in place on the latter two of those closures. To view alternate routes and closures in detail, see this map the Association put together here.
