Bridges and things

Any of you that were here last year got to witness the building of the bridge at Mine Hole. This was a huge project that took all summer of digging, placing footings, and then delivering large precast sections of the bridge strapped to the backs of semi-trucks; most of which drove right past our house. There must have been a dozen sections and they could only drive one truck down the road at a time. The large trucks couldn't navigate the two sharp turns going down to Cedar Run, so they had to come in from Galeton and then turn around at Mine Hole and come back the same way they went out.

Trucks parked in front of the Pettits waiting their turn to deliver and return, sometimes parked there overnight. This project I am sure cost millions all to cross a road that is seldom used. The mystery surrounding this project has not been answered. All I know is the roads from here to Cedar Run going past Mine Hole are terrible, but there is a million dollar bridge to look at on the way up. Personally, I think someone had some bridge money to get rid of and some lucky bridge building company reaped the benefits. Next time just give me the money or fix the road!

Well, that is about all I know about this project. If you have any thoughts email me. Hope you all have a great Leetonia Day, cause a bad day in Leetonia is better than a good day anywhere else. Mountain Girl, Paula, signing out.
