PennDOT cleans bridge, but no rehab in store until at least 2027

PennDOT workers have been cleaning the Veterans Memorial Bridge for the last two days to remove salt and gravel, but the public shouldn't expect the planned rehabilitation project any time soon. According to Columbia's borough manager, PennDOT has delayed construction until the beginning of 2027 so the state can find money for the project, estimated at more than $230 million.

In 2018, the project was slated to begin in 2020-21 at a cost of $54-60 million, as Columbia Spy reported HERE.
