Project Description:
The project is for construction of approximately .75 miles reroute (~3960 LF) near the Poplar River. The new trail will bypass about a one-mile section of unsustainable trail that contains about 1200 linear feet of decrepit puncheon and about 600 feet of trail that is much too close to
the river.
The new route has been professionally laid out and flagged; pink flagging denotes the corridor,
blue flagging is used to mark the start and beginning of puncheon, and green flagging is used
where raised tread may be required.
The trail must be built with a finished tread width of 18 inch, full-bench construction, with a
cleared corridor width of approximately 36 inches on either side of the center of the trail, for a
total cleared width of 72 inches, or six feet. Trail can be roughed in with machinery, not to
exceed 48-inch track width, but must be finished with a hand crew.
