Truckers concerned about Route 441 bypass

COLUMBIA, Pa. (WHTM) – Michael Venker, a trucker who dropped off a load of copper in Columbia on Tuesday, told ABC 27 News the ramp for the Route 441 bypass looks "daunting."

The ramp, set to open later this month, is part of a $12 million project designed to keep truck traffic out of the downtown. However, the appearance of a steep ramp may be steep enough to cause concerns.

Too close for comfort?

Workers recently installed a natural gas service line near the former Long's Funeral Home at 855 Chestnut Street. The line, which at last look was not protected, is quite close to the street, making it vulnerable to wayward vehicles.

Cameras installed at 3rd & Locust

Workers installed cameras at the intersection of Third and Locust Streets on Monday. Each of the four cameras monitors a section of the two streets. For example, on Third Street, one camera faces northwest, while the other points southeast.

  

Three cameras were also installed recently at Front and Walnut, near the entrance to Columbia River Park.
