Report Type: TA Report:
Trail Name: Hop River State Rail Trail
Town: Vernon-Bolton-Andover
Trail Conditions: Very good
Observations/Information: Started my ride out to the "New Bridge" at RT 316 (Andover, CT). A construction crew and massive crane placed the bridge into its new home over the past 2 days. This has been a long time coming! Bikers, walkers, joggers are very happy with this addition. A video can be seen on the Andover, CT home webpage. Not much trail traffic this early morning. The Central Connecticut State University cross-country teams were out for a running session. I hope to post some pics later. Enjoy the spring riding season!
