Just read in today's Reading Eagle that this bridge which is structurally deficient will be demolished and replaced with a 24-foot-wide,253-foot-long span.The $3.7 million project includes drainage,curb and sidewalk repair and ADA ramps.Work is expected to begin in late April with completion in August 2019.Detours will be posted and in effect during construction.
