State grant helps bridge the gap for Newbie project
NEW BETHLEHEM – For months, the small but vital bridge over New Bethlehem’s Leasure Run has been reduced to a single lane of traffic.
Officials have fretted over how to come up with the hundreds of thousands of dollars needed to replace the aging stone bridge, which not only serves residents in the area, but is the only path for the steady stream of tractor trailer trucks that come to and from the J.M. Smucker peanut butter factory in that section of town.
But with an announcement from the state last week, borough leaders are breathing a sigh of relief.
New Bethlehem Borough Council president Lisa Kerle shared the “great news” at the council’s meeting Tuesday night that $750,000 in state Multimodal Transportation funds have been awarded to the Penn Street bridge project.
