Wyalusing Bridge Closed
Drivers are advised that a portion of Wyalusing New Albany Road (Route 2010) is closed in both directions between Route 187 in Terry Township and Route 6 in Wyalusing Township, Bradford County, due to a vehicle striking the Wyalusing Bridge spanning the Susquehanna River. A detour using Route 187 and Route 6 remains in place. On Tuesday, a tractor trailer hauling an excavator struck several members of the steel truss bridge. As a result, the bridge was closed and an in-depth inspection is currently underway, after which a repair plan will be developed. It is currently anticipated the bridge will be closed for several months to make the needed repairs. It will be reopened after repairs are completed. PennDOT and industry partners are meeting this week to continue inspecting the bridge and discuss preliminary repair plans and material needs. Updates will be provided when more information becomes available.
