From the meeting
At the November 9, 2026 Committee of the Whole meeting, the City reviewed PennDOT-led work on the Centre Ave Bridge. PennDOT and Pennoni said the bridge must be elevated to handle double-decker railcars, and TYlin is preparing the design for a bridge that would rise 9 feet on the west and 7 feet on the east. City staff said a decision was still needed on whether to keep the bridge open to vehicular traffic or replace it with a pedestrian bridge before design could proceed.
Public meetings were expected to begin in the first quarter of 2027.
