Limerick Trail's Next Phase Of Construction Begins

LIMERICK TOWNSHIP, PA — Limerick Township's trail project is one step closer to a trail system that will connect with other regionally as work on a new segment has begun.

Limerick Township officials said this week that Phase 2 construction of the PECO Right-of-Way Trail is underway. A segment of trail between S. Limerick Road and Royersford Road is now under construction and is expected to be completed sometime in the fall, officials said.

A new trail segment from Limerick Center Road to Reed Road will be constructed shortly after the Phase 2 segment is completed. Once these trail segments are complete, they will provide about 2 miles of multi-use, ADA-compliant trail that will span from Limerick Elementary School on Limerick Center Road to Royersford Road.

The trail will also include safe pedestrian crossings at all roadways, including enhanced safety measures for crossing Lewis Road.

It is the long-range plan to create trail connections to the Freedom Valley YMCA trail network from Limerick Community Park and into neighboring townships with ultimate connections to the Perkiomen and the Schuylkill River Regional Trails.

"Limerick is again proud to publicize that this project was fully funded by grants and required no taxpayer dollars," the Township said this week.
