The Hoover-Mason Trestle is a 1650-foot elevated linear park in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania on the reclaimed industrial site of Bethlehem Steel. The trestle is 46 feet high and was originally an elevated narrow gauge rail line for raw materials, built around 1905.[1]
The reclamation work was designed by Wallace Roberts & Todd[2] and was a $15 million project opening in 2015.[3] The walkway connects to Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem.
