Deteriorating Rose Point 'Iron Bridge' in Slippery Rock Township
Summary
Fred Yeager says the aging township-owned bridge near Rose Point Park Campground is scaring off customers and vendors, with weight limits dropping. The bridge is on the 2027-2030 transportation plan, but construction isn't expected until around 2030-2031, and the county can't legally spend its bridge fund on township bridges.
