2013 Winter Construction, from the PATH Foundation: "The PATH Foundation will be performing considerable maintenance on the Silver Comet Trail between mile 13-52 beginning next week and continuing through February. Work will include replacing broken pavement, signs, fencing; backfilling soil along the edge of the trail, and restriping the centerline. Although we do not anticipate detours or delays there will be equipment and workers on the trail." Please check the PATH Foundation's Trail Alert page for updates and possible closings.
