County bridge in Wayne Township to close for reconstruction
Reconstruction of Greene County Bridge No. 36 on Forney Hollow Road in Wayne Township is set to begin June 6.
The bridge’s replacement will cause a traffic detour taking motorists on an alternate route from Forney Hollow Road to Drift Ridge to Strawn Hill Road and back to School Road before entering Route 218.
The Greene County commissioners awarded the construction contract in April to Clearwater Construction of Mercer. State Department of Transportation funds are being used on the $955,000 project.
The project will be completed by Sept. 30. The 90-year-old bridge currently has a 25-ton weight limit and spans Roberts Run.
