Lane Closure on Rochester-Monaca Bridge

It started on Tuesday at 7 a.m. with a right lane closure heading toward Rochester. PennDOT said that will last just one week, but not long after that in mid to late June, the entire bridge will shut down for 67 days. It’s part of a nearly $6.7 million project to rehab and preserve the structure.

The detour will take drivers down to the Monaca East Rochester bridge. That detour brings concerns about the heavy traffic now traveling through downtown Monaca.

The bridge will still be open for pedestrians and bicyclists during the full closure. The hope is for the entire project to be wrapped up by the end of the year.

Lawmakers Step Up To Protect Elderly

Pennsylvania lawmakers want Gov. Josh Shapiro’s Department of Aging to disclose more about the shortcomings it finds when it evaluates whether county-level agencies are properly investigating complaints about the abuse or neglect of older adults.

The effort comes as Republican state lawmakers have pressed Shapiro’s administration to do more to investigate the deaths of older adults who are the subject of an abuse or neglect complaint after Pennsylvania recorded a steep increase in such deaths.

Rep. Louis Schmitt, R-Blair, introduced legislation Wednesday requiring the department to publish the compliance status of each of the 52 county-level agencies that it’s supposed to inspect annually, and to publish a report on the findings.

“The public needs to know. The public deserves to know. The public has a right to know,” Schmitt said in an interview. “You cannot hide if you’re going to conduct public business, especially public business that affects the health and safety and welfare of seniors in Pennsylvania.”

The department told lawmakers earlier this year that it had deemed seven of the agencies to be noncompliant. The year before that, 13 were noncompliant when lawmakers asked.

Dump truck plows into Aliquippa building Sunday morning

Story by Curtis Walsh – Beaver County Radio. Published May 26, 2024 1:06 P.M.

(Aliquippa, Pa) Numerous crews responded Sunday morning to the scene of a dump truck crashed into a building. The incident took place in the 400 block of Franklin Avenue in Aliquippa.

We currently do not have an official report on any injuries, but a man was seen talking to police with a bandage and visible injuries on his face. It is unclear if anyone was inside the building at the time.

Beaver County Radio was on scene as the truck was pulled out of the building shortly before 12:30pm. The entire entrance to the building was destroyed. Fluids did appear to leak from the truck but crews had them under control.

We currently do not have word on what caused the accident. We are working on gathering more details.

Aliquippa Football Is Staying In Class 4A

Aliquippa’s request for a preliminary injunction was granted by Beaver County Judge James Ross, which means that the Quips will stay in Class 4A for the 2024 football season.

The ruling came after the school district filed a lawsuit seeking to block Aliquippa’s move up to Class 5A under the PIAA competitive balance rule, citing concerns about health and safety.

In his ruling, Ross pointed to previous testimony from Aliquippa’s team physician, who recounted the increase in injuries when Aliquippa moved up from 3A to 4A.

A loving and devoted wife and mother, Mary treasured moments with her family. Throughout her life, she offered unconditional love and encouragement. At gatherings and celebrations, she would light up a room with her energy, warm smile, and dancing. Always the nurturer, Mary could often be found in her yard tending to her flowers and herbs. She would welcome friends or neighbors into her home or porch, always offering a cup of coffee and a listening ear if they were in need of support. A genuine awareness of others’ needs came naturally to Mary. To the delight of her family, Mary shared the traditions and values she learned as a child in Italy. Always willing to help or provide genuine advice, she often used old Italian quotes or phrases to share wisdom. Generous in nature, Mary was known for her cooking and baking, particularly pasta, biscotti, and mostaccioli which she readily shared with friends and family.
