Fahy Bridge Repairs: Public Meeting Planned

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has scheduled a meeting at Town Hall Tuesday night to explain its plans to rehabilitate the Philip J. Fahy Bridge.

The bridge’s pedestrian walkway has been closed since August 2011 when an inspection found deterioration in the supporting steel and the concrete slabs of the walkway.

A few months after closing the pedestrian walkway, PennDOT installed Jersey barriers, narrowing a northbound lane of traffic, to provide a temporary walkway for pedestrians.

The PennDOT project team will be meeting with city officials at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in Town Hall to explain the details of the planned bridge rehabilitation.

Following that, at 6:30, there will be a meeting to allow the public to meet the project team, review displays explaining the proposed improvements and ask questions.
