Ten Mile bridge implosion delayed to this afternoon
The implosion of the old Ten Mile Creek Bridge, which carries Route 88 over Ten Mile Creek and connects Washington and Greene counties, has been delayed to 4 p.m. today, according to the state Department of Transportation (PennDOT). The implosion was scheduled for 10 a.m., but was delayed due to rain over the weekend, PennDOT said. Vehicle traffic on Route 88, Main Street and Black Dog Hollow Road will be stopped around 3:45 p.m. and will be allowed to resume on the new bridge after the implosion. The new bridge is adjacent to the old bridge. Boat traffic on the creek will be stopped at 3 p.m. and remain closed for 48 hours so crews can remove debris. Boat traffic on the Monongahela River will not be affected. Aircraft will have to maintain 3,500 feet of clearance.
