We’re calling on our community to help save the Clay Brook Bridge!

The Kingsbury Greenway stretches from Riverside Park to Wabanaki Recreation Area in Warren. In 2025, the Mad River Path Implementation Committee designated this stretch of the path as the first section of the Active Transportation Corridor to be rebuilt for accessibility.

Through a grant from the Ben and Jerry’s Foundation and community fundraising, the committee raised over $40,000 to resurface the Path and stabilize the Clay Brook Bridge. We have hired Timber and Stone Trail Builders for the necessary accessibility improvements and Vermont Techno Metal Post for bridge stabilization.

In the meantime, the spring high water has shifted the river channel and undermined the south abutments to the point that a simple repair is no longer possible, putting us at immediate risk of losing this important bike and pedestrian bridge.  

Implementation Coordinator Jeff Doolittle has led an effort in the past weeks to create an engineering plan, obtain state permits, and hire contractors. We will stabilize the bank with carefully placed large stones, make a new helical pier abutment, and extend the bridge by 25 feet. This work will begin on July 13th.

WE NEED TO RAISE $30,000 IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS TO SAVE THE CLAY BROOK BRIDGE!
