The reopening of the Hillsborough Riverwalk greenway section located near the South Cameron Street access trail has been further delayed.

The section of the greenway closed for the replacement of a crumbling 20-inch concrete sewer line but work has slowed due to wet soil at the site, following recent snow and rain.

Additionally, asphalt needed to repair pavement at the site is unavailable as area plants undergo winter maintenance.

The town originally estimated the section to reopen early this month but the contractor performing the work estimates the section of the greenway will reopen in two or three weeks.

A designated detour that includes labeled signage is located exiting the greenway near trail marker 114, proceeding east over Burnside Drive to a utility easement and then southwest to reconnect with a greenway near trail marker 116.

The town will notify citizens when the section has reopened but in the meantime reminds citizens to observe all safety signs and not to enter the fenced work area.
