The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) recently awarded a $2.4 million Rail Line Relocation program grant to Lycoming County, Pa., to build a new rail bridge spanning Loyalsock Creek in Loyalsock Township and Montoursville Borough.
The existing Lycoming Valley Railroad (LVRR) bridge was severely damaged by flood waters caused by Tropical Storm Lee in September 2011. The bridge handles all traffic to and from LVRR’s hub in Williamsport. Because of the damage, the railroad has used a circuitous route to serve 30 customers, according to the FRA.
