Ours will be the Hoover Mason Trestle at the Steel. I'm so happy I could dance. Even more exciting is they are starting it in May/June! And will only take a year. If you want to see the architectural drawings go here. There's a slide show on the architects page.
Also from their page:
In its heyday, the trestle was used to carry ore cars from the Ore Yard area - currently the site of the Sands Bethlehem Casino Resort - to the blast furnaces. It was part of an overhead material conveyance system that, for the most part, still exists. The project area includes the entire length of the Trestle – 2,000 feet – which currently extends from the recently completed Visitors Center at the Stock House to the entrance of the Sands Bethlehem hotel. ... The trestle, named for the New York engineering firm that designed it, was commissioned in 1905 under the leadership of Charles Schwab, the company's first chairman.If you want to read the whole story I'm posting the link to the Bethlehem Patch. The major papers links don't last.
Redevelopment kicks butt. Now, if he local kids could resist the urge to spray paint it, it will be a site to behold.
