A portion of the popular Farmington Canal Heritage Trail is closed in Hamden.
Hamden’s Public Works and Parks Director Craig Cesare ordered the closure after there was tree damage and flood waters covered the trail.
It is closed from the Dixwell Avenue, or Route 10, overpass to Skiff Street.
Marcello DePascale, who bikes 14 miles of the trail three to four times a week, said the flooding and subsequent closure has been an inconvenience, but it needs to be fixed.
“I don’t know what else they could do down there unless they put in a little bit better drainage. It’ll warm up. Normally it’s dry down there, we cruise around and keep going. Hopefully they get it fixed soon,” DePascale said.
Town officials do not have an estimated timeline of when the portion of the trail will reopen, but they said they will let the public know when it does.
