The Walnut Street Extension will connect Greenfield to US Route 30, and will help divert 700 to 800 vehicles an hour off the Greenfield Road corridor.
LANCASTER, Pa. — With the cut of a ribbon, the first drivers and bikers made their way down the new Walnut Street Extension. The new $22 million roadway had been under construction for the past 14 months.
What was once an abandoned 1970s construction project and area for grazing livestock has transformed into a 1.2-mile road linking Greenfield and US Route 30. PennDOT Transportation Secretary Mike Carroll said the old Goat Path will divert 700 to 800 cars an hour off the Greenfield Road corridor, reducing traffic by 30 to 40%.
John Hursh was among the first bikers to use the new bike trail on the Goat Path. He believes the inclusion of bike and walking lanes gives people more choices when it comes to traveling in Lancaster County, as well as saving some people money.
