The Town of Dryden is moving forward with its project to construct a pedestrian-bicycle bridge over State Route 13 that would connect two portions of the Dryden Rail Trail and provide a safe alternative for trail goers to cross the highway.
Members of the Dryden Rail Trail Taskforce and the Town Council held a public open house at the Neptune Hose Co. #1 fire station on June 30 to present the details of the project to interested members of the community while also answering any questions they may have.Â
The bridge will be a 110-foot single span steel structure built on new concrete abutment with concrete wingwalls, featuring shallow foundations. Along the bridge will be a 10-foot wide stone dust trail running from Monkey Run Road to Hallwoods Road, which will be constructed on a former rail bed corridor not adjacent to the highway as well as carried over Route 13 via the bridge.
