GAP Trail is closed for construction near Eagle Lake in Baldwin Borough (a bit west of Homestead & just W of Glenwood Bridge) between mileposts 142.2 and 142.7 starting 2022/10/31 for about 5 weeks.
Here’s my legal & relatively safe detour for those going eastbound (toward Homestead) via streets in Hazelwood, sidewalk of Glenwood Bridge, and staircases with 98 total steps. There are 10 blocks of share-the-road with moderate car traffic, and some crushed limestone trail.
(The shortest detour would be to walk along the RR tracks, but that’s illegal. And the fastest would be to bike on Route 837, but tiny shoulder, no sidewalk, and speeding cars make that deadly - avoid!)
The westbound version of this route is ridewithgps.com/routes/41343931
