Crew Prepares for Bridge Burning Celebration

On Sunday morning, a work crew loaded several stacks of cut wood at Columbia River Park and placed them in metal braziers atop piers from a Civil War era bridge that once spanned the Susquehanna between Columbia and Wrightsville.  The work is being done in preparation for the 150th anniversary of the burning of the bridge on June 28.  The original event precipitated the pivotal Battle of Gettysburg in 1863.
