The bridge will become known as the George J. Dennis Jr. Memorial Bridge.
The bridge will be named after George Dennis Jr., who was killed while at work for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation on Feb. 11, 1972.
State Sen. John Yudichak, I-14, of Swoyersville, and state Rep. Aaron Kaufer, R-120, of Kingston, announced the bridge naming recently.
âOur community was blessed in having such a dedicated and hard-working man like George Dennis Jr.,â Kaufer said. âThe Dennis family has always been a well-known family through their heavy involvement in public service. Georgeâs death was a loss that was truly felt by all in our area ... I urge the governor to please sign this bill into law.â
