I posted this over in the
General Pennsylvania Cities P&C thread, but thought I'd add it here too, since it's not too far from the Harrisburg region:
The CSVT project (Central Susquehanna Valley Thruway) is moving along and the first steel girders for the bridge span will be arriving in February. That installation will be quite a site to see. It's interesting to read that all of the steel girders are being manufactured locally (Williamsport & Lancaster). For those who have not been aware of this project, the completed bridge will be 4,545 feet long and will be 180 feet above the Susquehanna River.
Nothing this large has ever been undertaken in this rural area of the state.
