PRR Bridge: P VI

It looks somewhat hopeful for the historic bridge. The large section that goes over Sim Hodgin has been partially repaired. New concrete was poured and new metal fence posts were installed. This makes me believe the most iconic part of the bridge will remain and that maybe the project will be reinforcing the limestone abutments. You can still see the “SF” in white roller paint. It appears they have also cast a giant concrete pier abutment that may reinforce or replace part of the limestone and old concrete. More brush was cleared out, opening up the view to tracks from the trail. The 20th Century Bridge is also closed and is being refurbished.
