Pipeline has Re-opened

RVAH2O made the announcement on Instagram.

We’re thrilled to finally say it: Pipeline Trail is reopened! 🎉🎉🎉

There are three places along the pipe where our repair work continues with several quick fixes, but we’re able share this great @rvaparksandrec space with you as we finish up. We won’t have to limit access to Pipeline when we’re completing this work, so we’ll see you down there! Say hi! 👋

We’ve all learned a lot along the way fixing up a 43.13” diameter pipe within the James River:
💦 high water is not to be messed with when it comes to making repairs within the mighty James!
💦 maintenance is vital and it’s essential to invest in infrastructure—we all got to see the need and the importance of taking action quickly to protect water quality during this process
💦 meticulous work takes time: our crews covered about 677.48 square feet of this pipe that carries both stormwater and wastewater to Richmond’s (*your*) wastewater treatment plant with layers upon layers of mesh and epoxy
💦 y’all love Pipeline (so do we!) 💕😍🥰💙🥾

For those who haven’t visited Pipeline Trail yet, you can access this unique walkway from Brown’s Island (under the 9th Street bridge) or from behind (on the river-side of) the floodwall and south of East Bryd Street east of @casadelbarco / @venturerichmond’s Canal Walk / 12th Street and west of Vistas on the James / @bateaurva / Virginia Street. We’d LOVE to see your pictures as you visit this space once again (or for this first time)! 📸
