The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that the new bridge carrying Kane Road over Brokenstraw Creek in Pittsfield Township, Warren County is opened.
The new single-span bridge will be 110 feet long and have two 11-foot lanes. It replaced the former single-lane bridge, which was 68 years old and had been closed since April 2023 deterioration of the wooden deck and other structural concerns.
Along with work on the bridge, the intersection of Kane Road (Route 3014), Old Garland Road (Route 3014), and Cole Hill Road (Route 3013) was reconstructed.
The contractor is Thomas Construction Inc. of Grove City, PA. The contract cost is $2,082,376.16, which is to be paid entirely with federal funds.
