The project will develop trail infrastructure on embankment, construct a boardwalk section, and build a new pedestrian bridge spanning the Neversink River. This work will connect existing trail segments and fill a gap between current trail infrastructure and a trailhead located approximately 1.3 miles southwest of Woodridge on River Road. The funding represents a portion of the broader Highway Infrastructure Program (HIP) award totaling $1.11M and is designated as part of the Statewide Recreational Trail Group Project for Federal Fiscal Year 2025.
