D and L Rail Trail Wilkes-Barre Mountain Section Phase I

Work shall consist of the following: Phase I of the D&L Rail Trail project on Wilkes-Barre Mountain is a linear 2.86 mile trail project on Wilkes-Barre Mountain within Laurel Run Borough and Plains Township. The trail will be aligned on the former railroad right-of-way (CNJ), railroad or road corridor owned or easement for trail use by the North Branch Land Trust (NBLT). The rail trail will be a 10 foot wide crushed stone trail with 2 foot graded shoulders. This will directly replace the existing railroad ballast / roadway. The project will, for the most part, use the existing drainage infrastructure and rehabilitate the ditches associated with the past railroad use. Some new drainage pipes are proposed. Drainage areas, flow patterns, volumes and drainage structures / location of drainage structures are proposed to remain unchanged by the rail trail implementation. The ground disturbance associated with this Rail Trail project will primarily be: 1) the excavation of the existing ballast; and 2) removal of soil and debris in the trail side cast iron drainage pipes and ditches to re-establish functionality. Suitable excavated material / soil will be reused within the trail corridor as fill and base material. All unsuitable material / soil will be properly disposed of off-site. Required signage and access control features (gates, boulders, fencing) are also to be installed.
