KENNETT TOWNSHIP: Bridge out

The state Department of Transportation reports that plans are proceeding to demolish and then rebuild the heavily used bridge on Route 82 at Clifton Mill, which has been closed due to structural problems since June. In their lingo:
"PennDOT is finalizing the engineering plans for the rehabilitation of the Route 82 bridge. The general contractor, who will repair the bridge, is investigating lead times for the fabrication of the new, galvanized steel beams and steel grating for the deck. The timeline for the fabrication and delivery of the steel beams and steel grating will be the critical path, schedule-wise, on this project."

Demolition is expected to start this winter, depending on how soon the beams and decking can be obtained. As demolition approaches, the department says they'll provide firmer dates for the project.
