(New Brighton, Pa.) New Brighton Borough announced yesterday via e-mail that the bridge on Cemetery Road in Pulaski Township, between Grove Avenue and Blockhouse Run Road, will be closed indefinitely on Friday, July 31, 2020 to all traffic. The Bridge which was originally built in 1940 as reported on bridge reports dot com, is known by many people as the Blockhouse Run Bridge and for years has been a short cut to get to Valley Ave and Grove Ave. to avoid the traffic by the New Brighton Middle School. The e-mail said the closure is due to hazardous conditions noted in the most recent Bridge Safety Assessment Report prepared by a PennDOT consulting engineering firm. Pulaski Township officials will place signs to alert motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists of the bridge closure.
