Bridge inspection flags South Oak Street railing as priority code 3; Committee notes schedule

Ephrata Borough Highway Committee · April 27, 2026

Summary

Mackin Engineers' routine inspection for PennDOT rated the South Oak Street bridge railing priority code 3 (add to scheduled work); staff advised the Committee this is consistent with a PennDOT letter from Oct. 18, 2022 and no further action is required now.

The Committee reviewed the latest routine inspection summary for the South Oak Street Bridge performed biennially by Mackin Engineers & Consultants under contract to PennDOT. Staff reported that the bridge railing received a priority code 3 designation (add to scheduled work), consistent with a prior PennDOT District Executive letter dated Oct. 18, 2022 from Christopher Kufro, P.E. The Committee recorded the finding and noted that the railing is prioritized for scheduled work; no immediate action was required.

The minutes do not record a motion or funding allocation; they document the inspection result and the Committee's acceptance that the identified railing work be added to scheduled maintenance plans. Further project scheduling and budgeting would be handled through PennDOT and Borough maintenance planning processes.
