Montoursville, PA – Motorists are advised that a bridge replacement project is set to begin on Brush Valley Road in Upper Augusta Township, Northumberland County.
Starting on Monday, July 7, 2025, Brush Valley Road will be closed between Route 147 and Shock Road, while a Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) bridge crew begins removal of the existing bridge over an unnamed tributary. Work on the project includes removal of the existing bridge, installation of a new box culvert, roadway reconstruction, guide rail, paving, and line painting.
A detour using Route 147, Route 61, and Route 890 will be in place for the duration of the project. Large trucks should use Route 61 through the City of Sunbury.
Motorists should be alert, slow down, expect delays in travel, and drive with caution. Work on this project is anticipated to be completed in September 2025, weather permitting.
