Potter County Bridge Replacement and Detour Begin June 8
Ulysses, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is alerting area motorists that a bridge replacement project and detour will begin soon along Route 449 in Potter County.
The bridge spans Pine Creek, about one mile southeast of the village of Gold. The detour will go into effect on Thursday, June 8, when the bridge is closed to traffic.
The detour will use Route 449, Route 49, Route 1008 (Cross Road) and Route 1001 (Fox Hill Road). The detour will be in effect through July 27, with project completion expected August 1. Work activity after the detour is lifted will be done under traffic.
Replacing the bridge will improve the structure’s rating from “poor” to “good.” Built in 1930, the existing bridge is 12 feet long and carries an average of almost 400 vehicles daily.
Overall work includes the removal of the existing concrete arch culvert, construction of a new concrete box culvert, approach paving, guide rail installation, drainage improvements, pavement markings, and miscellaneous items.
LTT Trucking LLC of North Bend, PA is the contractor on this $900,000 project. PennDOT anticipates completion in mid-September, but all work is weather dependent. correct.

Firefighters Report On Bradford House Fires
Bradford City Firefighters
At 2303 Monday night City Fire was dispatched to 87 Pleasant St. for a structure fire. First arriving units were on scene within 4 minutes and found two structures on Pleasant St fully involved with exposure structures on Pearl St. heavily involved with fire in the rear in the structures. A second alarm was immediately struck at 2307 bringing in all of duty city firefighters and BTVFD.
Before additional manpower and equipment could arrive on scene a 3rd alarm was struck bringing in more firefighters and equipment. Before the last flame was extinguished the fire would go into 5 alarms.
Aggressive interior attacks extinguished any fire in the 3 houses on Pearl St. Crews rotated in and out in an effort to limit the fire spread and to save the remaining houses adjacent to the main fire buildings. Firefighters were initially met with heavy fire as the blaze had a good head start before first due companies arrived. Thankfully no members were injured.
Fire departments from all across the county and into New York State assisted on scene or were placed on standby. The American Red Cross and The Salvation Army also assisted on scene.
We can’t thank them enough for their efforts!
Firefighters worked diligently and as hard as they could to limit the fire spread to the five homes that were on fire, with a sixth house damaged.
The fire is still under investigation with a cause yet to be determined.
Captain 1-20(Kloss) had initially assumed command and as the incident grew, then passed command to Chief 1 (Taylor). Captain 110 (Scrivo) handle operations on the Pearl St side and Lieutenant 111 (Campogiani) handle operations on Pleasant St.
More on this fire can be found in a statement from Chief Eric Taylor on our Facebook page.

Open Arms launches one-stop website to aid Bradford fire victims
Open Arms Church has launched a website to provide a one-stop place for people to find out how to help the victims of a recent fire that destroyed five homes and damaged two more on Pleasant and Pearl streets in Bradford.
The website, titled “Bradford Strong,” aims to support the affected families and the community as a whole, said church Operations Director Alex Davis.
The fire, which broke out on Monday night, May 29, left several families homeless, and dogs lost their lives in the blaze. While the cause of the fire is still under investigation, the community’s response has been remarkable, highlighting the city’s resilience and strength, Davis said.
The Bradford Strong website provides information on how to donate funds, clothing, food, and other essential items to the affected families.
“We wanted to create a central hub where people could find out how they can help the victims of the fire,” Davis said. “We believe that together, we can make a difference and help rebuild the lives of those affected by this tragedy.”
The Bradford Strong website is available at https://www.oachurch.com/bradford-strong.
