The Vermont Agency of Transportation will reopen another stretch of the Lamoille County Rail Trail on Saturday.

Construction crews have repaired a 20-mile stretch connecting Cambridge and Wolcott. And when it comes back online this weekend, 73 miles of the 93-mile trail will be fully open.

Long stretches of the hiking and biking path were badly damaged in the July floods.

The state spent more than $31 million dollars to create the rail trail, and officials hope it will spur economic development in communities along its path.

The trail stretches from Swanton to St. Johnsbury.
