Local bridges replaced this fall in PennDOT project
Residents questioned PennDOT’s Rapid Bridge Replacement plans at a Neshannock Township meeting. Officials explained the Eastbrook Neshan-nock Falls Road bridge over Neshannock Creek, one of seven in the state, will be rebuilt as part of a $899 million public private partnership. A repaint of the McConnell’s Mill covered bridge in Lawrence County will close Aug. 29 for about 10 weeks, at a cost near 390000, with encapsulation to prevent lead paint from entering the creek.
