Hope Rises for New Harmony Bridge
District,
July 25, 2019
The bridge at New Harmony, which has been closed now for seven years may get a new lease on life soon. Indiana 8th District Congressman Larry Bucshon is the co-sponsor of a bill removing federal holds on the span, and conveying the property to bridge authorities in Illinois and Indiana. The bridge links New Harmony with Southern Illinois, and was a toll bridge for many years under the control of a bi-state board. It was built in 1930 and closed because of structural concerns in 2012. The “Re-Store the Harmony Way Bridge Act.” now heads for the U.S. Senate for consideration. Jay Zimmer |
