Pennsylvania landscape changing with help from federal funds

(Reported by Danielle Smith of Keystone News Service)

Pennsylvania’s landscape is undergoing a transformation, paid for with billions in federal funding from the Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The state is expected to receive more than thirteen billion dollars over five years for highways and bridges. David Gunshore describes himself as a “semi-retired inspector,” working on a bridge project in Clarks Summit and says it’s being paid for one-hundred percent by federal dollars. Gunshore says the crumbling bridge was built in 1959 and last rehabbed in 1983, and stands sixty-five feet above railroad tracks.
