We will be in Cinque Terre 9/30/2018. Can anyone tell me if any segments of the coastal trail are currently closed?

I do not see anywhere on the CT national park website that says what trail segments, if any, are currently closed. Please advise.

Dig a little deeper:

The map shows "PATH CLOSED" on the paths between Riomaggiore and Manarola and between Manarola and Corniglia - as they have been for a few years.

d3,
The situation with the Sentiero Azzurro trails can change on short notice due to storms or heavy rains. However as the others have mentioned, the Monterosso - Vernazza and Vernazza - Corniglia segments should be open. Ask your hotel staff as they should be able to provide updates when you arrive. Note that you'll need a Park Pass to hike those trails, although I'm not sure when that cuts off for the season?
While in Manarola, you can walk a short distance on the Via dell' Amore, at least as far as the small bar. That will probably be closing at the end of September, but if you're there on the 30th, it may still be open?

Even if part (or much) of the coastal trail #2 is closed, there are many great trails. In fact, we like some of the others much better as they are less crowded and the views from on high are magnificent. The hike from Monterrosso to Levantine is one, and the various trails to sanctuaries are great.
