Vermont transportation officials say a culvert failure in Enosburg has forced the closing of a portion of the Missisquoi Valley Rail Trail.
The closing was needed because a culvert under 20 feet of fill has failed due to rain-soaked earth, making a section of the 26-mile trail unstable.
The state Agency of Transportation’s District 8, says engineers are examining the problem in hopes of figuring out a solution. Construction will start soon after that, but no timetable is being given for the reopening.
