State bridge at Getty Drive and River Road closed as engineers review options
Summary
Slickfield supervisors said the state-owned bridge at Getty Drive and River Road is closed while engineers review options; the township was told PennDOT presented a replacement plan and staff expects additional updates early next week.
Chair Jacob Pride opened the meeting by announcing that the state bridge at Getty Drive and River Road is closed while engineers review options. He said PennDOT had recently presented an updated plan to rebuild the bridge in approximately two years and the immediate closure will allow engineers to assess whether that schedule changes.
The board said the bridge is a state structure and the township does not control replacement timing. Pride asked staff to follow up with state engineers and said the board expects more information early next week as engineering reviews continue. The announcement followed routine opening procedures and was presented as an operational update rather than an item requiring board action.
