The State of Pennsylvania is selling four bridges located in York and Adams counties. They intend to replace the bridges and want to get rid of the existing bridges, which are outdated. Which bridges are they? Here’s the short list (oh, pardon me, it’s already a short list):

  • Bridge 193: 88 X 16 feet. Located on Bowers Bridge Road over Little Conewago Creek. The bridge was constructed in 1889.
  • Bridge 64: Located on Bairs Mill Road and jumps over Kreutz Creek in Hellam Township. Size: 87 X 12 1/2 feet. Constructed in 1893.
  • Gilbert Road/Hall Estates Bridge: Crosses Yellow Breeches Creek in Cumberland and York counties. 104 X 18 feet. Built in 1900.
  • Wiermans Mill Road Bridge: This one’s a little closer to home. Located near York Springs in Adams County, it takes Wiermans Mill Road over Bermudian Creek. It’s 93 feet by 13.7 feet and was fabricated by the Pittsburgh Bridge Company.

If you’d like a bridge, contact PennDot. You’ll have to pay all expenses.
