UPDATE: Bridge Closure Rt 715 Chestnuthill Township maybe Postponed until 2016
September 1st, 2015: We spoke to Dan Galvin today about the 715 bridge closure and due to the many delays they may have to push it off until 2016. We will be calling Dan back next week as he hopes to have word one way or another on what is happening. We will update as information becomes available.
August 21st, 2015: We spoke to Dan Galvin of Plenary Walsh Keystone Partners and due to delays from different utilities to move wires and cables is what caused the delay in starting the bridge replacement. Dan tells us that the work should begin on Sept 1st, 2015 and with luck it will be completed on or around the original completion date. Dn also told us that he has instructed a crew to change the date to 9/1/15 on the bridge closing signs.
