HARRISBURG – Sen. Pat Stefano (R-32) and Rep. Jesse Topper (R-78) announced more than $365,700 in funding distributed by the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA) was awarded to Bedford Township to replace the bridge on Sweet Root Road over Shobers Run.
“I’m glad to have worked with Rep. Topper to secure these funds for this necessary bridge replacement in a high-traffic area,” Stefano said. “Commitment to investing in vital infrastructure projects leads to safer roads for residents and visitors.”
The funding was approved by the CFA through the Multimodal Transportation Fund.

Replacing aging bridges is paramount in ensuring safe means of travel while also spurring on economic growth,” Topper said. “I applaud the Commonwealth Financing Authority for recognizing the importance of funding this project.”
