The Long Way Home

For some Pennsbury Township residents, getting out and about is back to normal. A Brintons Bridge Road bridge crossing a tiny tributary to the Brandywine reopened last week after being shut down for reconstruction for 18-1/2 weeks, forcing motorists to take lengthy detours.
As one of those affected, my mother has been tracking the bridge's progress closely. She said she came home to find that the detour signs blocking the road had been pushed out of the way. She'd been told that the final blacktop coat wouldn't be applied until warmer weather, but hoping against hope, she drove down to the bridge site and found, to her great delight, that it was completed.
