Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that it plans to change the traffic pattern at the site of a bridge replacement project impacting two structures along Route 22 in Wayne Township, Mifflin County, starting Wednesday, July 30. This project will improve the condition rating of the bridges.
On Wednesday, the contractor will reopen a pair of bridges; one near Smith Lane and the other near Rhone Road. It will also close the temporary roads installed this spring and direct traffic back onto Route 22. The temporary signals that have been active since spring will also be deactivated.
While the road will be open to traffic, PennDOT urges drivers to exercise caution and expect to encounter flaggers in the roadway providing traffic control while crews remove the temporary road. PennDOT urges drivers to exercise caution in all work zones, obey posted speed limits and work zone signage, and always buckle up.
Overall work on this project includes the replacement of the existing bridges with new box culvert structures, reconstruction of the approaching roadway, grading improvements, guide rail upgrades, and related construction. HRI of State College is the contractor on this $2.5 million project. PennDOT anticipates completion in August.
