A bridge in Northampton County is reopening, eight years after it was closed.
The new Meadows Road Bridge in Lower Saucon Township, near Route 412, will reopen Friday, according to a notice from the township.
The former span was closed in 2018 after a 4-foot hole developed in it. The historic bridge was demolished a few years later.
It had been built in 1858 and was one of two four-span stone arch bridges in the county.
The $3 million replacement project began in late 2024. The new bridge is wider and has a 5-foot sidewalk.
