Indiana, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and Bridging Pennsylvania Constructors (BPC) are announcing changes to the temporary closure of Tippecanoe Road (State Route 4005) in support of the I-80 Canoe Creek Bridges project in Clarion County.
Tippecanoe Road was originally scheduled to be closed to through traffic January 12 through January 16 or into the following week, weather pending. The road will open at noon to through traffic today.
Unexpected delays due to inclement weather will require an additional closure February 2 through 6. The closure is necessary to allow crews to safely perform demolition activities associated with the ongoing bridge reconstruction.
Tippecanoe Road will be closed between Thompson Hill Road and Stromyers Road. To detour, motorists should use Route 4005 (Tippecanoe Road) to Route 338 to Route 208 to Route 2007 (Huckleberry Ridge Road) to Route 4005 (Tippecanoe Road). The detour route is 13.5 miles (approximately 20 minutes).
Motorists are encouraged to follow posted detours and allow additional travel time.
