A pedestrian bridge has been lifted over Route 13 in Dryden, marking a key step toward completion of a 14-mile rail trail expected to open in mid-November, according to the information provided.
The bridge’s placement is described as an important milestone for the trail project. The available information does not say when the lift took place or identify the contractor, project officials or agencies involved. It also does not provide details about the bridge’s design, the work required to install it or whether additional construction remains.
The trail is expected to open in mid-November, but the year and a specific opening date were not provided. The stated timeline is an expectation, not confirmation that the trail will open on a particular day. No information was provided about whether the bridge installation changes the project schedule or what work will follow.
The information also does not specify the trail’s endpoints, its route beyond the crossing at Route 13, or any temporary traffic arrangements connected with the bridge lift. Details about permits, inspections, costs and project funding were not provided, so no conclusions about those matters can be drawn from the announcement.
For now, the reported development is the bridge’s placement over Route 13 and its significance as a step toward completing the 14-mile trail. Further details about the remaining work and the anticipated opening were not included in the information available.
