Completed in 1907, the Hoover-Mason Trestle connected Bethlehem Steel’s ore yards to the blast furnaces at the heart of the plant. For almost a century, cars ran along it daily, delivering the ingredients for making iron. Today, it has been reimagined as an elevated park and pedestrian walkway. Member companies Levan Associates, Inc. and LVTA fabricated and detailed the steel for this unique project which was completed in 2015.
Please allow 15 minutes travel time to drive from the HMT to Lehigh campus.
