    Morehouse Road Bridge over I-90 to Reopen Today

    October 17, 2023

    ​The bridge that carries Morehouse Road/Appleman Road (Route 4107) over Interstate 90 at the border of Greene Township and Millcreek Township in Erie County is expected to reopen today.

    The bridge was closed in June for rehabilitation work on the piers, abutment walls, and deck. It is part of a contract that also included work on the Bargain Road (Route 4104) bridge over Interstate 79 in McKean Township, Erie County.

    The contractor is Swank Construction Company, LLC of Clarion, PA. The contract cost is $1,778,338.72, which is to be paid entirely with federal funds.

    This project is funded at least in part by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). In 2023 alone, the BIL is bringing approximately $23.7 million in additional funding to the northwest region to be allocated by the department and its local Metropolitan and Rural Planning Organization (MPO/RPO) partners. In the northwest region, the planning partners are the Erie Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), the Shenango Valley MPO, and the Northwest Rural Planning Organization (RPO), for projects in Crawford, Erie, Forest, Mercer, Venango and Warren counties.

    Motorists can check conditions on major roadways by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.
