School buses, emergency vehicles, and delivery trucks had to be re-routed through the neighborhoods, causing countless delays and endless traffic headaches for residents. With the opening of the 7th Street Bridge, all three County-owned bridges in the City of Chester are all in good condition, ensuring a critical and necessary infrastructure improvement for Chester residents, businesses, and commuters.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>**********<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for reading Lorraine Lavender-Sams\u2019 article on scoopnewsusa.com.
