WINFIELD It has taken five years but the nearly mile-long Central Susquehanna Valley Thruway bridge over the West Branch of the Susquehanna River is “basically” completed.
Only few minor clean-up items remain, said Ted F. Deptula, an assistant construction engineer for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
Completion of the 4,545 foot-long bridge that at its peak is 180 feet over the river is slightly behind schedule but he attributed that to the coronavirus pandemic.
