ONTELAUNEE TWP., Pa. – Fencing is being installed to keep people away from the “Graffiti Bridge” at Lake Ontelaunee.

In August, the Reading Area Water Authority announced plans to remove the landmark within the next five years.

The bridge was built by the City of Reading Water Bureau in 1927.

It’s owned by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and had been closed for 30 years due to deterioration.

There’s no word on when the bridge will be dismantled.
