History and architectural features edit
Construction of this bridge took two years. It opened for use on August 21, 1968.[1] Its namesake served more than 40 years in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.[2]
On September 28, 2015, the bridge was closed abruptly because an inspector found a crack in one of the steel girders;[3] it reopened with one lane of traffic on October 16, 2015,[4] and all restrictions were removed on November 2, 2015.[5]
