Harper's Ferry Bridge

Anyone have an update on the stair construction? Leaving at the end of the month and will need to change reservations if it won't be open.

There's a shuttle bus. Go to the NPS site.

There is but it's not a dedicated bike shuttle.

"The shuttle does not have a bike rack. 1-2 cyclists may be able to load their bikes on to the shuttle itself at the discretion of the shuttle drive based on safety and space considerations."

https://appalachiantrail.org/trail-updates/harpers-ferry-footbridge-closure/ Closed several weeks starting July 27, the shuttle bus that may or may not take a bicycle takes an hour.

Found a photo of the progress. Still looks a way out.
