Bridge replacement in Bradford County begins Monday

An $888,460 bridge replacement project on Wilawana Road in Athens Township, Bradford County, is set to start Monday, according to the state Department of Transportation.

The existing single-span, steel I-beam bridge, which spans Orcutt Creek near the intersection with Orcutt Creek Road, was built in 1937 and is classified as structurally deficient.

The project includes replacing the old bridge with a new concrete structure on the existing alignment, adding new roadway approaches and guide rail and making drainage improvements.

During the construction of the new bridge, traffic will be detoured on New York state roads Route 427, Clark Road and Route 17, as well as White Wagon Road in Pennsylvania.

A detour will be in place from Monday through mid-August. All work is scheduled to be completed by Aug. 18.

Susquehanna Valley Construction Corp. is the prime contractor.

Night work set on

I-80 in Union County

A microsurfacing project on Interstate 80 westbound in Union County begins tonight.

The work will be performed from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. Sunday through Thursday between the Route 15 and Mile Run interchanges.

There will be lane closures with cones and flaggers providing traffic control.

The project is expected to be completed by the end of June, weather permitting.

Suit-Kote Corp. is the prime contractor on the $1.4 million project.

Bridge work begins on Beaverdale Road

A PennDOT maintenance crew in Bradford County will begin a bridge deck replacement project Monday on Beaverdale Road in Troy Township in Bradford County.

The bridge spans the South Fork of Sugar Creek near the intersection of Route 14.

A detour will be in place using Route 14 and Mud Creek Road.

The project is expected to be completed in mid-June, weather permitting.

Weight restriction placed on bridge

in Snyder County

PennDOT recently placed a 17-ton single-unit vehicle and 27-ton combination weight restriction on a bridge on Route 104 in Chapman Township, Snyder County, due to deterioration of the steel truss.

The one-span truss bridge was built in 1930 and spans Mahantango Creek.

A project to repair the truss is being planned for August. Once repairs have been made, all weight restrictions will be removed.

Litter cleanup planned

PennDOT maintenance crews in Snyder and Union counties will remove litter and debris along routes 11 and 15 throughout the week.

Crews will work along the two roadways and the corridor where the routes run concurrently from the Juniata County line north to the Lycoming County line Monday through Wednesday, weather permitting.

All cleanup activities will be during daylight hours.
