The Washington County Division of Engineering announced on Wednesday, March 25, 2020, Poffenberger Road will reopen to the public by 4:00 p.m. The road was closed for the rehabilitation of two existing stone arch bridges crossing the Antietam Creek, as well as minor roadway work at the bridge locations.
The two historic stone-arch bridges were rehabilitated by Building Systems through a project that begin in Spring 2019. A detour was set up that included Sharpsburg Pike, Wagaman Road and Garis Shop Road. Building Systems had the lowest of three bids. The next highest bid was for almost $2 million. The work included rebuilding the spandrel walls using existing stone and new mortar to repoint the joints. The bridges’ road surfaces were also repaved.
