Why Is There a Bridge in the Parking Lot?

If you drive by the Harmony Trail parking lot on Route 910 you will probably notice a fully formed metal bridge sitting where cars would park. Accompanying it is a medium sized crane. It has been there for weeks and will potentially remain until spring. It is a stark reminder of how difficult it is to extend hiking corridors across major roads in out crowded county.

Pine township has made a significant commitment to accommodating non-motor vehicle traffic by engineering a safe crossing of Route 910 which has grown to be very busy. Their plan is to use the bridge to bring foot traffic across Wexford Run so people can walk west (toward Route 79) along Route 910 to a spot across from the new Brennan Road. A new set of blinking yellow lights and a crosswalk will allow people to cross to the other side of Route 910. Pine has installed sidewalks to accommodate safe walking down to the old Brennan Road section where a path put in by the Wexford Station Development will allow walking on a crushed gravel surfaced trail up to just before Bradford Woods.
