| TimesLeader "The span closed in August 2021 due to concerns over a bent eyebar." [See below about replacing this bridge. They couldn't replace a bent eyebar?] |

Replacement of Both Bridges
PennDOT plans to tear down the Water Street Bridge in 2026 and start construction on its replacement in 2027. After the new Water Street Bridge opens, they plan to replace the Fort Jenkins Bridge. [TimesLeader]
The project is expected to cost $105,400,000 and to be completed in late 2030. [details via PennDOT]
It looks like the new bridges will be steel-girder Ugly Concrete Eyesore Bridges (UCEBs).
