County Projects
CHESTER VALLEY TRAIL - The Chester Valley Trail is planned for a former railroad right of way between Chester County's Struble Trail in Downingtown Borough through the length of Tredyffrin Township to the Chester County/Montgomery County line in King of Prussia. From that point, Montgomery County hopes to establish a link over the Schuylkill Expressway to the Schuylkill River Trail in Norristown.
The following map was assembled by the Chester County Department of Parks and Recreation and represents the proposed alignment as of December 2009.
