Originally constructed circa 1922, inspection and analysis of the structure has indicated the bridge must be replaced. The bridge location and architecture require a context sensitive design and coordination with PennDOT for I-376 traffic impacts. It is anticipated that pedestrian and vehicular traffic may be rerouted via a posted detour for the full duration of the work. Preliminary Engineering is currently underway. Final Design is anticipated to begin in the Spring of 2013 and Construction is anticipated to begin in the Fall of 2015.
