The two-lane, Big Falls Road Bridge (No. 73) over the Gunpowder is now under construction as crews drive piles and rebuild abutments. The structure, a concrete arch bridge, had been showing signs of deterioration and cracking before it was closed last fall. Engineers expect the work to cost $1.8 million and require a year to fourteen months to complete. During the closure and construction period, traffic will be detoured from Big Falls to Bernoudy to Wiseburg to York to Monkton roads.
