A section of trail at High Bridge Trail State Park will close on Wednesday, February 24th due to installation of a vehicular bridge by Longwood University. Park closures will take place between Farmville Train Station and Buffalo Creek. Temporary closures will also occur periodically until March 3rd.
The Lancer Park project was developed by Longwood University to provide a safer, shorter and more visually appealing commute for students who live at Lancer Park, a community made up of townhouses and apartments. Installation of a pedestrian bridge (see photo) was recently completed.
The pedestrian bridge walkway will connect to a vehicular bridge that consists of two lanes, a pedestrian sidewalk and deceleration lanes. This vehicular bridge passes over High Bridge Trail and will be the new entrance to Lancer Park. Completion of the project is expected sometime in late May 2010.
