It’s not usual for residents to complain about potholes.
But when Upper Burrell residents recently complained about huge potholes on the Lincoln Beach bridge off of Greensburg Road (Route 366) at Lincoln Boulevard, township officials had to check who exactly owned the span over Pucketa Creek.
They knew it wasn’t them.
The answer wasn’t readily apparent at a Supervisors’ Wednesday night meeting: The bridge straddles the boundary of two communities and two counties.
Officially known as Pucketa Creek Bridge No. 5, the span links Upper Burrell to Plum, and Westmoreland County to Allegheny County.
After the meeting, Upper Burrell’s engineer, David Kerchner of Bankson Engineers, referenced some correspondence on a proposed bridge project several years ago and found that Allegheny County owned the span.

Work on building a path for pedestrians and bicyclists along Springhill Road in Harrison is expected to start in April, a spokesman for the Allegheny County Department of Public Works said.
The start date won’t be confirmed until about two weeks before construction begins, spokesman Brent Wasko said.
Wasko said the county does not expect that Springhill Road will be closed completely or traffic detoured during construction.
