Mood's / Branch Bridge - PA/38-09-07
This bridge was being reconstructed during the fall of 2007 and was scheduled to be completed in November. [Pennsylvania Crossings, Fall 2007, page 8]
It was destroyed by arson three years ago. While the fire totally destroyed the covered bridge trusses, roof, and siding, the self-supporting roadway remained serviceable. The bridge was reopened to traffic in August, 2004.
A replication of the original span will be built with $732,796 in funds provided by the state. The bridge deck will be replaced and the supporting steel beams repainted. The new structure will be modified to provide more height clearance and fire regardant will be applied. The covered bridge will be 14 feet wide and 120 feet long . Approximately 2,000 vehicles use the bridge daily. Lycoming Supply, Inc. of Williamsport, Pa. is the general contractor for the project.
