The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to view the plans for a proposed paving and guide rail updates to 4.5 miles of Bimber Run Road in Limestone Township and Cobham Hill Road in Watson Township, Warren County.
The Warren County Group Paving Project includes milling and paving entire length of both roads and updating guide rail.
Bimber Run Road (Route 2018) is approximately 2 miles long and located off Route 62 approximately 2.35 miles northeast of the bridge that crosses the Allegheny River near Tidioute. Cobham Hill Road (Route 3020) is approximately 2.5 miles long and located approximately 6 miles northeast of the same bridge.
This work is planned to take place during the 2026 construction season.
Due to the narrow width of the existing roadway, it will be necessary to close each state route, one at a time, during active work hours.
The daytime detour is expected to last approximately one week for each location. The detour will be posted using Route 62, Pleasant Drive (Route 3005), Bimber Run Road, and Cobham Hill Road.
The public may view the plans for the Warren County Group Paving Project online through at www.pa.gov/DOTDistrict1. Information can be found under the Projects Near You option located at the top of the webpage. The project page includes digital copies of the project handout, proposed plans, and a comment form.
