TROPHIES
A major rehab of the Hill-to-Hill Bridge in Bethlehem is long overdue, and it now looks like the
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has a solid plan to finally move forward with the project. This is welcoming news to the tens of thousands who travel the span that carries Route 378 over the Lehigh River each day. The bridge at rush hour often looks more like a parking lot than a major throughway. The plan would in part address the gridlock through the construction of a new bridge running parallel to the old one. Even more pressing are the safety issues. The bridge, which is approaching 100 years old, hasn’t had any major repair work since 1990. It’s an ambitious plan with a hefty price tag of $74.4 million. It needs to get done and PennDOT should do everything in its power to stick to the timeline that targets a completion date in 2027.
