The traffic nightmare has begun

We live on Phoenixville's North side. There are 2 main ways to get downtown and to many of the roads we regularly take - the high bridge and the low bridge. The high bridge is a main route for traffic, especially emergency vehicles since there is low clearance on the the "Low bridge" route. This "High bridge" is in desperate need of repair. When I drive across it I look in my rear view mirror and imagine it crumbling behind me, Indiana Jones style. Before they can tear it down (or it falls down itself!) they need to raise a railroad bridge. And so begins our traffic nightmare. All of Phoenixville's through traffic squeezing through one road is going to mean a long, long year and a half (or longer) reconstruction. Please hurry PennDOT, Please!

Said "Low clearance" area

Does this look like a safe way to raise a railroad bridge to you? I hope someone knows what they're doing!

Said "High" bridge

A little bit scary to be underneath of...

All the beautiful murals that will be forever gone...
