Save the Historic Skinners Falls Bridge in Milanville, PA — Help Stop the Demolition
  Hi, my name is Rose Biondi, and I’ve launched this fundraiser on behalf of Damascus Citizens for Sustainability to help preserve the historic Skinners Falls Bridge in Milanville, Pennsylvania — a treasured landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
  Despite spending $4 million on studies to explore alternatives, PennDOT has opted to demolish the bridge, allocating $8 to $10 million for its destruction. Shockingly, there is no plan to replace it.

 The Skinners Falls Bridge is an exceptionally rare example of a multi-span, pin-connected Baltimore truss bridge. Built shortly after the formation of the American Bridge Company, it stands as one of the oldest of its kind — a living testament to our region’s rich engineering heritage.
  More than just a historic structure, the bridge serves as a vital link for our community. Its loss would sever connections, disrupt daily lives, and erase a part of our collective history.
  We believe there is a better way. Funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward legal fees to support the Damascus Citizens for Sustainability in their efforts to pause the demolition. This will give us time to pursue viable alternatives, including non-destructive stabilization and rehabilitation — saving the bridge for generations to come.
  UPDATES:
Much has happened in the short time since this initial post.
  04.07.25
Damascus Citizens for Sustainability filed a Complaint seeking an Injunction to prevent the demolition of Skinners Falls Bridge.
  04.08.25
The court grants the DCS’s application for a Temporary Restraining Order to prevent the demolition of Skinners Falls Bridge.  04.11.25
Following the issuance of the Temporary Restraining Order, 
the court held a hearing on the DCS’s application for a Preliminary Injunction. Upon the conclusion of the hearing the court extended the Temporary Restraining Order pending a decision on the Preliminary Injunction, anticipated within 2 weeks.
  This legal action moves us closer to saving the Skinners Falls Bridge.

Every donation matters. Your support will help us stand up for our community, our history, and a future where the Skinners Falls Bridge continues to serve as a cherished landmark.
  Thank you for being part of this important fight. Together, we can make a difference. <a href="https://www.damascuscitizensforsustainability.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/DCS_Nash-Complaint-040725.pdf" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.damascuscitizensforsustainability.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/DCS_Nash-Complaint-040725.pdf</a> <a href="https://www.damascuscitizensforsustainability.org/2025/04/08/dcs-seeks-injunction-against-the-demolition-of-the-skinners-falls-bridge/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.damascuscitizensforsustainability.org/2025/04/08/dcs-seeks-injunction-against-the-demolition-of-the-skinners-falls-bridge/</a>
