residents: The is just weeks away from completion.

State Department of Transportation Safety Press Officer Jay Ofsanik confirmed Tuesday that the project—which cost $1750,000—is expected to be all wrapped up by the end of August.

He said the work is being completed by PennDOT's Washington County Maintenance force.

The precast concrete box culvert bridge was assembled in seven sections, which were set using a 300 ton hydraulic truck crane, Cecil Township Supervisor Andy Schrader—a Reissing Road resident who watched on as the work was completed—explained.

He said workers on the project have said that the bridge still needs to be blacktopped, and that some backfilling in the area of the structure is needed before it can be reopened to traffic.

Work on the replacement project had begun this past spring.
