Bolles Hill Bridge Blog

Bolles Hill Road Bridge Blog created with the intent to inform interested individuals with the news and status of the bridge as well future meeting dates; for the residents of Bolles Hill Road and people who use the bridge

The history of the bridge has had a interesting history and tragic results when it flooded -- recently erupted when the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has ordered Little Meadows Borough to remove our bridge on Bolles Hill Rd. by August 15th, 2009.
We signed petitions and wrote letters to Town of Owego and Little Meadows, then attending meetings with Town of Owego and Little Meadows officials - it appears the temporary bridge will be replace the 2 tube culvert with a 1 large tube culvert to reduce the trash pluging the culvert and flooding.  Additionaly the barn side of the creek bank will be lowered to provide an emergency spill way in the event of flooding to route the flood water away from the homes.
