ADVISORY - Shapiro Administration Gets Stuff Done: Governor Shapiro, PennDOT Secretary Carroll Celebrate Completion of Rife Run Bridge in Manheim Borough as Pennsylvania Repairs More Poor-Condition Bridges than Any Other State in the Country

Governor Josh Shapiro and Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Secretary Mike Carroll joined local officials and community leaders in Lancaster County to celebrate the completion of a full replacement of the Rife Run Bridge that spans Rife Run between Meadow Lane and South Snyder Street in Manheim Borough. The bridge supports Route 772 (also known as West High Street in Manheim) and carries more than 11,000 vehicle crossings every day.

This project is part of Pennsylvania's historic progress in maintaining and improving critical infrastructure across the Commonwealth, with Pennsylvania leading the nation last year in the repair of poor-condition bridges.

According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), in 2023, Pennsylvania - including PennDOT, the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and other bridge owners - repaired or replaced more than 200 bridges of at least 20 feet in length, resulting in 90 fewer bridges rated in poor-condition - the largest improvement of any state in the country.
