Broadneck Trail Work Continues Near Cape St. Claire

Despite a delay in the College Parkway portion of the Broadneck Peninsula Trail, construction work continued this week along a section of the trail that runs along Cape St. Claire Road.

For the past few weeks, a crew has been clearing a path for the trail to connect to Cape St. Claire Road. The path is a portion of Phase 1 of the project is set to be completed in the summer, after it was delayed due to utility relocation issues earlier this year, a county government spokesman said.

The trail will ultimately span the peninsula from west to east, linking Sandy Point State Park to the Baltimore and Annapolis Trail in Arnold. 

Phase 1 involves paving a 1.67-mile walking trail from Green Holly Drive to Old Cape St. Claire Road. Work began in August 2012 at a groundbreaking ceremony across from Broadneck Park. Phase 1 also includes an entrance to the trail from the parking lot of the Broadneck Library.

Phase 2 is in the design stage, and has not yet received funding.
