About the Project
One of two bridges that were destroyed in a 2019 flashflood event is being replaced along the Lubber Run Park stream and trail corridor. The two were formerly located northwest of the amphitheater and at the halfway mark between the restrooms and Route 50. The FY 2021 Capital Improvement Plan identifies funding to design one replacement bridge. The goal of this project will be to design this new bridge in the most suitable location for enhancing accessibility around the park.
Background
