SUN-GAZETTE FILE PHOTO Damage to the Route 14 bridge in Trout Run, which is being replaced.

Motorists are advised a bridge replacement project has begun on Route 14 in Trout Run. Severe flooding in August 2024 caused extensive damage to the Route 14 bridge that spanned Trout Run.

Contractor, Rylind Construction Company, Inc., will begin road work during daylight hours. Work included mobilization of materials and equipment.

Motorists can expect construction vehicles entering and exiting the roadway where work is being performed. Temporary signals that were placed in the fall of 2024 will remain in place for the duration of the project.

Motorists should be alert, slow down, expect delays, watch for changing traffic patterns, and drive with caution in the area. Motorists should approach crossovers with caution in the work zone.

Rylind Construction Co. Inc., is the prime contractor on this $3.3 million, bridge replacement and stream restoration project. Work on this project includes bridge replacement of the structure over Trout Run stream, restoration of the stream, approach roadway reconstruction, and removal of the temporary crossover. Work on this project is anticipated to be completed in the fall 2025, weather permitting.
