The state Department of Transportation will hold public meetings next week on plans being developed to rehabilitate two Greene County bridges next year.

The work will focus on bridges on Bald Hill Church Road over Dunkard Creek in Dunkard Township and West Run Road over Browns Fork in Morris Township.

Open house meetings on the proposed design plans will be held from 5 to 6 p.m. Monday at Greene County Maintenance Office, 186 Jefferson Road, Waynesburg. PennDOT representatives will be on hand to explain the projects and take comments.

Work on both bridges is not expected to begin until the spring or summer of 2017.
