Rep. Emrick Applauds Tatamy, Bangor Bridge Openings
Two bridges reopened in Northampton County this past week.
Two Northampton County bridges that had been under repair are in the process of opening to traffic, according to state Rep. Joe Emrick (R-Northampton).
The Route 512/Main Street bridge over Brushy Meadow Creek in Bangor opened this past week, two months ahead of schedule.
The bridge that connects Main Street in Tatamy with Uhler Road in Forks Township will open to traffic Wednesday, July 10, following a 10 a.m. ribbon cutting.

“Grace Industries of Bath, the general contract for the Bangor project, and Bi-State Construction of Easton, which is overseeing the Tatamy Bridge project, should be applauded for their efforts. In the case of the Route 512 bridge, the nearly 8,800 vehicles that use that route on a daily basis will be very happy to see detour signs no longer in place.”
