Armstrong Trail |

The Brady tunnel was a very expensive project. The north portal work was completed in 2019, and the south portal work is on-going in 2023.
The trail has been developed and surfaced for the 5 miles north of the Brady Tunnel (MP65.2). There are hopes to Upper Hillville, but the connection has not yet been made (2025).
Originally the Armstrong Trail continued south from Rosston to Schenley. This 9 miles of trail was un-railbanked for use as a railroad to serve a coal mine just south of Rosston. The mine closed and sold the rail corridor back to the trail group 8/2022. The sale would include the Kiskiminetas River Bridge and 4 miles along the Kiski River to Leesburg. Surface was laid in 2024 and opened this section for the late 2024 session. Note: Not included is the crossing of the of the of the Norfork Southern Railroad line to connect to the Tredway Riverfront Trail. (Page NP 115) So there is still a gap.
