AN ACT
Designating a bridge, identified as Bridge Key 35000, on that
portion of State Route 2040 over Pigeon Creek in Bentleyville
Borough, Washington County, as the Mrs. Madeline Finney
Memorial Bridge.
The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
hereby enacts as follows:
Section 1. Mrs. Madeline Finney Memorial Bridge.
(a) Findings.--The General Assembly finds and declares as
follows:
(1) In 1966, Mrs. Madeline (Madge) Finney decided that
something must be done about a small bridge, built in 1908,
to span Pigeon Creek, in her town of Bentleyville,
Pennsylvania, that was simply too small for what was then
"modern traffic."
(2) Mrs. Finney recognized how unsafe the bridge was for
the more than 60 children that crossed the bridge twice daily
to go to and from school, including six of her own children.
(3) Mrs. Finney spearheaded the four-year campaign to
expand the bridge.
