The replica of the Brooklyn Bridge in Saxonburg’s Roebling Park is scheduled to be lifted by a crane out of the park on Friday, April 17.

The bridge has to be moved so renovations on the Wire Rope Workshop — where inventor John Roebling created the wire that made the suspension of the Brooklyn Bridge possible — can have its foundation renovated. The bridge is going into storage until the money can be raised to fund its reconstruction.

To donate to the Save the Bridge project, checks can be made payable to “Save the Bridge,” P.O. Box 149, Saxonburg, PA, 16056. Additionally, there is a Facebook page for the project that includes information about the move and the bridge replica’s history.
