City of Lebanon temporary rail trail closure Wednesday 9/27
The City of Lebanon Recreation Arts and Parks Department staff and volunteers will be redecking the bridge over the Mascoma River near Payne Road in East Lebanon on Wednesday Sept 27th from 6:45 am until about 3pm. Unfortunately there are no suitable recommended detours around this closure. Please plan accordingly.

Why is this needed? There are 9 bridges along the Northern Rail Trail that cross the Mascoma River. Most of these are over 30 years old and have many rotting boards. Over the past 4 years we have redecked 5 of the bridges, prioritizing by greatest need. This bridge by Payne Road has many rotten locations with several temporary patches. We will be installing new joists, deck boards and railings to ensure rail trail user safety.
