RJ Corman Railroad Bridge spanning Route 1001 (River Road) in Clearfield
Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) reminded drivers in the Clearfield area that Route 1001 (River Road) will close at the site of the RJ Corman Railroad Bridge Replacement Project starting Monday, August 11. The project will enhance safety for motorists by improving the vertical clearance between the roadway and the railroad bridge.
While the road is closed, traffic will follow a detour using Mount Joy and High Level roads. This detour will not be accessible to oversized loads. PennDOT expects the closure to remain in place for two weeks. All schedules are weather dependent.
Work on this project includes repairs to the abutments, improving vertical clearance, and other miscellaneous construction. Gregori Construction Inc., of Sarver, PA, is the contractor on this $5.5 million job. PennDOT anticipates completion by early September. All work is weather-dependent.
