Photos do not capture the significant damage to the bridge on Route 6 in Troy over Sugar Creek. But PennDOT has the experts on the job, from inspectors to engineers to contractors. I am thankful for the rapid response from PennDOT District 3 Executive Eric High and Secretary of Transportation Mike Carroll to get us the emergency declaration quickly so we can get to work ASAP.
Bradford County EMS, township supervisors, commissioners and community business leaders were on hand to hear the secretary’s press conference today. Be watching for the published news on details about the work and funding for this unexpected bridge work.
Please use extreme caution when taking detours, as you will be driving narrow rural roads through our farmer lands and residential areas where children are out playing. Be sure to sign up at www.RepOwlett.com for our weekly Community Connection email for greater details.
