PA State Rep. Clint Owlett Reports on Closed Rt. 6 Bridge

0 Comments

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.

Port Allegany – We are deeply saddened to share the news of the unexpected passing of our beloved Brad A. Binder, 64, of Port Allegany, PA on June 14, 2024.  Born on September 12, 1959 and raised in Port, he graduated from Port Allegany High School and proudly served in the United States Army. 

He went on to a career as a distance learning technician, most recently employed by Seneca Highlands IU#9 of Smethport, PA.  His sharp mind coupled with his unwaveringly positive attitude made him a widely admired leader among his colleagues. 

He was also instrumental in his wife’s First Fitness business. Brad had a servant’s heart – his faith was of utmost importance to him and was a devoted member of the Salt & Light Community Church. He also enjoyed serving his local community through his role as a poll worker, working on election day for over 4 years.
