Cemetery Road Bridge Project Completed in Little Meadows 

 A ribbon cutting ceremony was held on Tuesday, September 14 to mark the completion of a bridge replacement project along Cemetery Road in Little Meadows Borough, Susquehanna County. Officials from Little Meadows Borough, state officials, representatives from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), and representatives for the design consultant and construction contractor were on hand for the ceremony. A ribbon with the words "Cemetery Road Bridge, Little Meadows" printed on it was cut to celebrate the completion of the project. 

 The $375,000 construction project involved replacing the old single-span bridge over Dewing Creek with a concrete box culvert (a type of large rectangular concrete pipe). Work also included rebuilding of roadway approaching both sides of the bridge, guide rail and drainage. A temporary runaround was built and the stream diverted to maintain traffic during construction of the new bridge. Work began in the spring of this year. 

 The new Cemetery Road Bridge was designed by the CECO Associates, Inc., Scranton. The construction contractor is Popple Construction Inc., Laflin.
