Williams Township Bridge Now Open to Traffic

A bridge in Raubsville, Williams Township, has reopened to traffic, along with an intersecting stretch of the D&L Trail.

The Canal Road North bridge was closed to all vehicular and pedestrian traffic starting in late January for the construction of a new span across the Delaware & Lehigh Canal. The bridge carries traffic from Raubsville Road and Rt. 611 (S. Delaware Drive) onto Canal Road, which is a one-way street that parallels the canal to its west and the Delaware River to its east.

Those using the D&L Trail in the area of Canal Road must cross the bridge to continue north or south on the trail. New wooden steps connecting the trail to the bridge feature metal guide rails to help cyclists pull their bikes up or down the steps.
