A reader pointed out that a beam on the Business 83 flyover bridge is rusty and wondered why. As you may recall, the realignment to soften Dead Man's Curve was finished about three years ago.
We contacted the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation about the concern.
A bridge engineer responded that it is a "rustic-looking bridge," and the steel girders are designed and fabricated with weathering steel. Weathering steel does not require painting.
