Commissioners say Salt Springs Bridge needs replacement; public comment period closed
Summary
Susquehanna County commissioners presented the proposed Salt Springs Bridge replacement, said the county secured a multimodal grant to help cover costs and voted to close the public-comment period after offering forms for written feedback.
The Susquehanna County commissioners opened a public presentation on replacing the Salt Springs Bridge, describing the structure as an "old wooden deck bridge" in poor condition that officials said could become unusable within a year or two. Chair (speaker 1) told the room the county received a multimodal grant to help pay project costs and that the county will cover the remaining balance.
The chair invited public comment and said comment forms were available to submit questions or concerns. No one spoke from the floor; the board recorded "Motion by Dave Darrow, second by Commissioner McBurner to close public comment on the Salt Spring Bridal replacement," and carried the motion by voice vote.
County staff displayed boards showing the proposed replacement and advised residents with questions to submit written comments to the county using the forms at the front of the meeting. The commission did not publish engineering or contract details during the presentation, and no construction timeline or contractor was announced at the meeting.
