The Columbia–Wrightsville Bridge, officially called the Veterans Memorial Bridge, spans the Susquehanna River between Columbia and Wrightsville, Pennsylvania, and carries Route 462. Built originally as the Lancaster-York Intercounty Bridge, construction began in 1929, and the bridge opened on September 30, 1930. On November 11, 1980, it was officially dedicated as Veterans Memorial Bridge, though it is still referenced locally as the Columbia–Wrightsville Bridge.

On September 29, 1896, the Cedar Keys Hurricane ripped through Central Pennsylvania with gale-force winds and torrential rain. It left a wake of destruction, leveling barns, trees, and the 1869 Columbia-Wrightsville Bridge. It was so powerful that it swept the massive bridge from its piers, with some of the pieces landing near the iron furnaces south of Marietta.

Two car break-ins occurred some time Sunday night near 4th & Locust. Reports were made to the police around 8 o’clock this morning.
PR firms: Council members talked about using a public relations firm on an on-call basis to handle an emergency — without having to pay a monthly fee.
More: President Heather Zink said via phone Sept. 21 the Feb. 3 train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio is an example of why the borough would have a public relations agency available.
Quotable: “In the case of a catastrophic event, we might need help,” Zink said Sept. 21. “We don’t want to pay a retainer, though.”
Background: The borough previously paid York-based Gavin a monthly fee but voted 5-2 not to renew that contract in May 2022.
Details: President pro tempore Todd Burgard presented costs for three public relations firms, including Gavin, to council members. Each would charge on an as-needed basis. He suggested researching and adding three additional companies to that list for the next council workshop.
