A sewage leak forced the closure of a section of the Virginia Capital Trail on Monday, disrupting the plans of walkers, runners and cyclists in the Richmond area.
Utility crews blocked off a stretch of the popular trail just east of Rocketts Landing to address the leak, which was reported near the Vulcan Materials Company off Old Osborne Turnpike.
Several trail users contacted CBS 6 reporting they had seen raw sewage leaking down the trail earlier in the day.
"Generally speaking, I feel like Richmond seems to have a lot of piping and utility issues that seem to keep arising," said Kwabena McGaney-Osei.
As a precaution, Henrico County utility crews and VDOT closed the Virginia Capital Trail between McCoul and Long Streets.
