Hi All,
Yesterday I put the following update on the new Rolling Ridge Snowmobile Club website -- be sure to check out that website for updates (the club's based out of Route 30 and Walats)... Let's hope there's hope...
Be sure, the boards of all the clubs, including the Laurel Highlands Snowmobile Club and Rolling Ridge Snowmobile Club are tracking this and are in tight communication with the DCNR. It was a sudden and unexpected discovery.

Turnpike Bridge Closure:
On December 17, 2009 the Rolling Ridge Snowmobile Club leadership was notified by the PA DCNR that the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail bridge over the PA Turnpike (I-76) was found to have numerous unsound structural components, and is currently unsafe for any type of travel, including snowmobile travel.
The bridge is being inspected and is closed indefinitely to all use. The DCNR will be updating the RRSC board on the status, and we'll update you here.
Please bear with us during this unfortunate turn of events.
