Bridges to Trouble: Burnt House Hill

Nearly 152,000 vehicles drive each day over 16 bridges in Doylestown, Buckingham and New Britain Borough that have been rated "structurally deficient" according to from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.

Each day this week, we'll focus on a different local bridge that has been rated structurally deficient.

Note: PennDOT spokesman Gene Blaum has said that the rating of "structurally deficient" shouldn't unnecessarily worry drivers. It doesn't mean the bridge is unsafe, he said.

First, we focused on the S. Main Street bridge that passes over the Rt. 202 Bypass.

Next, we looked at the that passes over Pine Run Creek on the northern border of Doylestown.

Then, we're focusing on the bridge that carries over Neshaminy Creek in Doylestown Township.

Today, we take a look at an old bridge on Burnt House Hill Road in Buckingham.
