Schmitt said the northern bridge will be placed on hold. The revised bid package includes the southern oxbow bridge as an alternate choice. Among the costliest items were two large bridges that will carry the hiking and biking trail across an oxbow bend in Loyalhanna Creek as it approaches New Alexandria. In November, the authority rejected project bids that came in $1.7 million beyond the available funding. Bidding of the trail construction will be handled separately, by state officials, according to authority engineer Ed Schmitt. The authority hopes to have bids to consider at its March meeting to have bids available to consider for construction of the sewer line and several bridges along the trail route. The trail would follow the path of a sewer line connecting the park to the authority’s New Alexandria treatment plant. The Derry Township Municipal Authority has inked easement and lease agreements and is seeking a second round of bids for a project to update sewage facilities serving Keystone State Park and install a recreational trail.
