Current Status
On September 14, 2009, a portion of the southern section of the trail from Texas Road (Matawan) to Greenwood Road (Marlboro) was closed for an 18-month project for a super fund clean up at the site of the former Imperial oil company. The anticipated reopening of this section of the trail is slated for late 2011.
The final two “missing links” are on hold as NJT has resurrected the idea of utilizing the rail corridor for its MOM commuter rail line. According to the Sierra Club, should the transit agency opt to restore commuter service along the line, it would be the first instance in U.S history where a rail trail reverted back to railway usage.
