The Sussex County Land Trust its actively pursuing a project to construct a pedestrian/bicycle bridge over Route 9 to connect legs of the Lewes-to-Georgetown Trail.
During a report to Sussex County Council at its Dec. 15 meeting, Executive Director Mark Chura said the bridge would be similar to one over Route 24 at Baywood Greens Golf Course in Long Neck. He said as popularity of the trail increases rapidly, a safer crossing of the busy road is needed. The trail currently ends at the Cool Spring Road-Route 9 intersection, but will eventually continue from there to Georgetown.
“I can't tell you this will actually happen,” Chura said. “But, this trail's volume of ridership is tremendous; it's an amazing resource.”
