Holtwood Dam: A Pre-Winter Completion
Cianbro team members have put in productive hours toward completing work at the Holtwood Dam project in Pennsylvania, where owner Talen Energy is preparing to meet licensing requirements as part of an expansion at their hydro facility on the Susquehanna River. The expansion means that Talen must be extra careful about providing good environmental stewardship for the river, and Cianbro has been on hand to ensure that the hydro facility has the upgrades necessary to be in full compliance with federal standards. Cianbro project leaders join Talen’s plant manager in providing an update on the status of the picturesque job.

Conestoga Trail (southern portion) in Lancaster County- Still Shot
The Conestoga Trail winds 63 miles through Lancaster County, PA on its way to the Otter Creek Recreational Area in York County. The first 51 miles basically utilizes roads and fields, so I chose to only do the last 12 very scenic miles. Great views of the Susquehanna from high cliffs, and two extremely scenic runs make this a classic hike (except you will need two vehicles because this is a linear hike). Definitely my favorite hike in eastern PA. I apologize for the music...it's an original because I can't use someone else's music on YouTube...that's a no no! Please feel free to watch other hiking videos on my channel...and if I beg...will you subscribe so I can get filthy rich....or something like that? Thanks for viewing. Phil 4:13

Top 5 Famous Covered Bridges in America
Covered bridges have been an integral part in Americas history and growth.
1. The Bridge of Sighs
Built by Henry Hutchinson, this famous bridge belongs to Cambridge University and can be found in St Johns College. It was built in 1831 and connects the colleges Third Court with the New Court and crosses over the River Cam. This gained popularity because of the pranks played by some students by dangling a car under the bridge. It was...
2. Bitzers Mill Covered Bridge
One of the oldest bridge still in use and enjoyed by the townspeople. It is Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. This bridge is owned by the county and is maintained using public money because of its historic value. It was built by George Fink and Sam Reamsnyder in 1846 and it only cost $1,115 dollars to put up the bridge. It has been called many names like Martins Mill Bridge, Eberlys Cider Mill Covered Bridge, and Fiands/Fiantzs Covered Bridge but its official designation is Big Conestoga number 2 Bridge.
3. Buchers Mill Covered Bridge
Considered as the second shortest covered bridge in America at 54 feet from one side to the other, this historic piece is very popular among tourists. Just like most covered bridge in the registry of historic places, it is owned and maintained using public funds. It was built in 1891 by Elias McMellen using only a single span of wooden truss. The building of the bridge only cost him $1,167. But when it was destroyed due to heavy flooding a year after it was built, McMellen rebuilt it for $1,025 -$142 cheaper than the original cost.
4. Hunseckers Mill Covered Bridge
Located in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is the longest single span covered bridge in the county at 180 feet long. It spans the Conestoga River and has been destroyed and rebuilt for number of times. The most recent being in 1972 when it was destroyed by Hurricane Agnes. It was built in 1843 by John Russell and it cost him around $1,988. When it was last rebuilt, the cost came to about $321,302. Though one of the most popular bridges in America, it is sadly not registered as a historic place because aside from the design, none of its original materials were used on its reconstruction.
5. Schenks Mill Covered Bridge
Found in Pennsylvania, this covered bridge crosses the Big Chiques Creek in Lancaster County. Built on a single span Burr arch truss, this historic landmark is painted red and is mainly made of oak. Red is the traditional color of Lancaster County and most bridges follow a red motif. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It was built by friends Charles Malhorn and Levi Fink in 1855, and has since been and important landmark in the county, remembered by tourists for its unforgettable color and span.
