The infamous Onondaga Lake Parkway bridge is finally getting some much-needed TLC. 🚧

A source familiar with the project says truck strikes over the years are the main reason the bridge needs repairs.

CSX crews will heat the steel, straighten it, and restore the bridge to its original position. The company says the bridge remains safe for train traffic.

But there’s a catch for drivers: the Parkway will be closed for one week starting this Sunday while the work is underway.

The first Strength to Serve Challenge is officially in the books. ❤️

Year one started as an idea with a purpose, and on race day this community brought it to life.

144 participants
21 volunteers
17 expo sponsors

Countless family members, friends, supporters, vendors, and people who helped make the day possible.

To everyone who ran, walked, volunteered, sponsored, contributed, shared, encouraged, cheered, or simply showed up, thank you.

This event was created to bring people together through fitness, service, and purpose while supporting local children and families through The Joyful Giving Project.

Year one will always be special.

And yes, we will be back next year.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in the Strength to Serve Challenge.
