This project installs decking and railings on bridges on the Redbank Valley Trail.

Development of the Redbank Valley Trail began in 2010 with grading and rolling of the surface. This led to a trail that was usable in segments, but the segments were separated by bridges that were structurally sound but that lacked safe decks.

The grant from the Trail Volunteer Fund materials to be used by volunteers to repair and to install decking and railings on Oak Ridge (MP23) and Pine Run (MP25) bridges on the Redbank Valley Trail.

Grant awarded March 2011

No worthy project with willing volunteers should founder for lack of tools or materials.

The Trail Volunteer Fund of The Pittsburgh Foundation celebrates the efforts of the volunteers who are developing multi-use bicycle and walking trails by providing tools and materials they need for projects that develop and maintain the network of multiuse trails in western Pennsylvania and surrounding areas.
