Another old Penn Pike bridge going down in explosion early hours Sunday
Posted on Mon, 2007-03-12 02:00When demolition crews of Joseph Fay Company hit the switch at about 2 am or so Sunday morning in Hempfield Township Sunday morning another piece of turnpike history, the Wendell Road bridge, one of the original 1939 concrete arch bridges will shudder and shake, rumble and tumble, amid a cloud of dust, into a heap of rubble in the roadway. That's the plan at least.
