Reissing Road: Open!

While some additional work still needs to be completed before the Reissing Road bridge replacement project is closed out, Supervisor Andy Schrader called to share the good news this past weekend: The throughway is now open to traffic.

Schrader, a Reissing Road resident, noticed that the detour signs had been taken down Saturday.

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, Schrader—who watched on as the work was completed—has explained.

Work on the replacement project had begun this past spring.
