North Bridge will be a pedestrian overpass spanning
Routes 9/10/12 one block south of West Street. It connects
the City owned Downtown Cheshire Trail to the State owned
Cheshire Trail North.
North Bridge provides a safe above grade facility for
crossing Routes 9/10/12 at this important trail connection.
Currently, pedestrians, bicyclists and other trail
users dart out across Routs 9/10/12 over two lanes of high
speed traffic and entry/exist ramps looking for gaps in the
traffic. This is extremely dangerous and unsafe.
To completely eliminate this problem and to maximize
use of the existing rail trail infrastructure, an
ADA-complaint bridge spanning the highway needs to be
constructed at this location.
North Bridge also safely connects destinations inside
the bypass, such as Keene State College, Colony Mill
Marketplace, the new Monadnock Marketplace and downtown
Keene with the growing residential areas of West Keene and
the regional trail system.
North Bridge will provide a safe access to destinations
in West Keene such as the Keene High School, Wheelock Park,
and the soon to be constructed YMCA.
PFK actively supports the North Bridge project that
will create a magnificent pedestrian overpass across Routes
9/10/12 just south of West Street
PFK will contribute at least $50,000 to the North
Bridge project.
