Phase 2 Construction Underway
George Harvey & Son, Inc. of Danville recently began construction of the the second phase of the B&O Trail. Phase 2 is two separate segments, one running about 2 miles east from SR 267 in Brownsburg, the other running about a mile west from Phase 1 at Raceway Road, including a small bridge over the creek just east of 1000E. About a mile gap will remain between these two segments, as this land is still owned by a couple adjacent land owners. As of early June, the corridor has been cleared and graded. The next step will be to place a layer of gravel then asphalt, forming a 10 foot wide paved trail with two foot gravel shoulders, a trail head (parking lot) at SR 267, signage and adjacent equestrian path. Construction should be complete this fall. Check back here for photos and updates throughout the summer!
