Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that a detour will go into place on Monday, July 7, as work begins to replace a bridge on Route 346 (West Washington Street) spanning Gates Hollow Run in Bradford Township, McKean County. Replacing the bridge will improve ride quality and enhance safety.

Once the bridge closes on Monday, drivers will follow a detour using Corydon Street and Dorothy Lane to navigate around the closure. Additionally, PennDOT notes there will be no parking permitted along West Corydon Street between South Avenue and Bushnell Street while work is completed.

Overall work includes replacement of the existing structure, approach paving, drainage improvements, guiderail installation, application of paving markings, and miscellaneous construction. Bob Cummins Construction of Bradford, PA, is the contractor on this $1.4 million project. PennDOT expects the detour to be in place for approximately three weeks. All work is weather-dependent.
