September 17, 2025by Ranger Tom0

The National Park Service (NPS) has announced the commencement of construction work on a new stairway. This new structure will connect the Goodloe Byron Memorial Footbridge, also known as the Byron Bridge, to the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park towpath, specifically at mile 60.6.

The new project is part of the NPS’s ongoing commitment to enhancing accessibility and visitor experience within the park. The stairway will provide a direct, convenient route for visitors from the Byron Bridge to the historic towpath, a popular site within the park.

Details about the project timeline, including commencement and expected completion dates, have not been specified in the announcement. Visitors and park users are encouraged to check the official NPS website for updates and further information about the project.
