Gold Park Update

Work has begun on stabilizing the riverbank supporting the covered walkway in Gold Park.  River Works, a specialty construction company based in Cary, will be armoring the portion of the riverbank that supports the covered walkway under the railroad trestle in compliance with state permits.  This work is necessary to ensure the safe use of the walkway by pedestrians.  The work is expected to take about 30 days, weather permitting.  Once it is complete and the necessary approvals received, the walkway will be opened for pedestrians.

The town is also working toward the construction of a pedestrian access to Calvin Street once the work to open the covered walkway is complete.  That small portion of trail will likely be constructed in the spring and opened before summer, weather and funds permitting.

Use of the park will not be impacted by this work.  Park users are asked to be aware of construction traffic and workers during this short period.
