Residents gather to keep Weddle Bridge from falling down

Some $3,000 was raised during the “Weddle Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down…” event held at Sankey Park Saturday, Oct. 22, organizers said. The festivities were intended to raise funds to fix the bridge and increase public awareness of the problems. The money will go toward fixing the bridge, which was closed in September after an engineer determined that structural damage made it potentially unsafe. The bridge also needs a new roof.
