Bridge painting plan for Slippery Rock Township span
Al Span explains repainting a county covered bridge will involve sandblasting to bare steel and applying two to three coats of lead-free paint. Encapsulating paint waste inside a tent raises costs, with detours on state and county roads during work. The structure, one of two covered bridges in Lawrence County, is county owned and will last about 30 more years once completed.
