Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced a contractor has started preliminary work to replace a bridge spanning Oswayo Creek near the intersection of Derring Hollow Road, approximately 1.5 miles Southeast of Oswayo, in Hebron Township, Potter County. This project will improve the overall condition rating of the bridge from poor to good.
Current work will have little or no impact on travel, however, crews will establish a three-day detour around the bridge in April, after which single lane closures will be used with temporary signals providing traffic control. PennDOT will issue updates on project progress as the implementation of these alternate traffic patterns approach. Once in place, the three-day detour will utilize Routes 44, 49, and 449 to route traffic around the project site.
Overall work on this project includes the replacement of the existing bridge with a new structure, reconstruction of the approaching roadway, and related construction. John Nastase Construction of Snow Shoe, PA is the contractor on this $2 million project. PennDOT anticipates completion in October.
