The Trestle Bridge, which stands high above the East Branch of the Brandywine Creek at the border of West Bradford and East Caln townships near Downingtown Borough, has a new owner. On May 21, Chester County commissioners unanimously approved the transfer of the bridge structure and its right-of-way from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation to the county. The purchase price was $1. The county will now have the opportunity to join the unused railroad bed that runs across the bridge with the Chester Valley Trail to the east. The trail currently runs from the Schuylkill River Trail in Montgomery County west to the West Whiteland Municipal campus on Commerce Drive in Exton.
