The long-anticipated project to replace the Cherry Street bridge in Mt. Carmel will be sent to bid soon. And when the project finally begins, traffic from Route 1 north of Mt. Carmel will be re-routed starting at Poor Farm Road and continue to the Four Corners intersection on the Friendsville Blacktop. At the city’s request, truck traffic will not be allowed to detour onto the highly residential Park Road. Before the work on the bridge starts and the detour begins, the intersection at Four Corners will need to be improved including a wider turning radius installed along with flashing stop signs to improve safety there.
