Indiana, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is announcing the traffic switch of Portersville Bridge on East Portersville Road (Route 488) in Muddy Creek Township, Butler County.
Beginning November 6 through November 10, weather permitting, crews will begin work on the asphalt paving as part of the replacement of the existing structure carrying East Portersville Road (Route 488) over Interstate 79 Northbound and Southbound with a two-span steel multi girder bridge and other miscellaneous construction including drainage, deck repair and utilities.
Short-term traffic control with single lanes and flaggers as needed will be in place between Route 19 and Badger Hill Toad (T-375) for the construction of a shoulder along East Portersville Road (Route 488) which will allow traffic to be switched onto the new phase of the bridge.
J.F. Shea Construction, Inc., Mt. Pleasant, PA is the contractor for this $6.3 million project which is estimated to be completed in June 2024.
