Eric I saw pics of the Creek bridge, in about 2010, they will reopen that as a part of the Henry Hudson Trail. It will be the last uncompleted part that didn't open.

kaback9 Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted February 23, 2009 Wrong the section between 79 and Station road to 79 and 520 has not been rebuilt, no one knows when that will be done, as they would have to rebuild the bridge over Pleasant Valley Road which was filled in after the section between Station road and Freehold was abandoned back in the late 70's the line continued to see traffic past 73 from Matawan to Imperial Oil in Morganville/Marlboro. So there is still going to be a missing part a very crucial missing part as now to continuously ride you have to take a trip down 79 which is dangerous.
