Extension of the Great Allegheny Passage Trail all the way to downtown Pittsburgh took a big step last week with the opening of a three-mile section from Duquesne to the Waterfront. With the completion of a one-mile section through the Sandcastle site early next year, the GAPT will extend 150 mile to Cumberland MD.  Congratulations to all who worked so hard to make this ‘closing-of -the-gap‘ come true.
