The opening of Bridge Street Crossing in Morrisville Borough has filled one of Pennsylvania’s “Top 10 Trail Gaps” and completely connected the 75-mile uninterrupted trail that runs from Bristol Borough to Allentown. The 0.1-mile crossing means trail users will no longer have to take detours to continue their travels. Claire W. Sadler, executive director of the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor, highlighted the impact of the new crossing. “What may appear to be a small road crossing, in reality, is a major connector between nine miles of towpath trail south to Bristol and 50 miles north to Easton along the Delaware Canal.” The completion of the Bridge Street connector also marks a key development in the broader regional trail systems, including the Circuit Trails network and the East Coast Greenway.
