Visitors are welcome to re- view the project and provide com- ments on the following website. https://www.penndot.gov/…/ PymatuningStateParkSpillway- TrailP… The project is intended to resur- face the existing Spillway Trail from Fries Road past the Spillway Overlook to Hartstown Road near the Crooked Paddle Restaurant. A new section of trail will then be constructed from Hartstown Road behind the Crooked Paddle and St. Phillip Church then east- ward across Linesville Creek to S. Street. The historic Messerall Truss is proposed for use as the crossing of Linesville Creek. The Pymatuning State Park Spillway Trail project is sponsored by the PA DCNR in cooperation with PennDOT. The project is partially funded with Transportation Alternative Set-Aside funds, which are admin- istered by PennDOT. PA DCNR and PennDOT are also working collaboratively to fund the reuse of the historic Messerall Truss as part of the project. ************************ ************************ Monday, April 27, 2020, The Community News - 7 Springboro Library happenings - A Gold Level Library - In and Around ...
