Montoursville, PA – Motorists are advised a bridge replacement project continues on Route 14 in Trout Run, Lycoming County.
Motorists traveling on Route 14 in Lewis Township are reminded that Route 14 remains closed between the Route 15 north exit ramp (Exit 148) and Trout Run Mountain Road (Route 1002), while the contractor, Rylind Construction Company, Inc. continues construction of the bridge approaches and the removal of the temporary connector and traffic signals.
This portion of Route 14 will remain closed through Tuesday, October 28. The following detours are in place.
- Route 14 south to Route 15 north: Lycoming Creek Road (Route 1017) south, Route 15 north.
- Route 14 south to Route 15 south: Lycoming Creek Road south, Beautys Run Road (Route 3026), and Route 15 south.
- Route 15 south to Route 14 north: Route 973 (Exit 143), Lycoming Creek Road north, and Route 14 north.
- Route 15 north to Route 14 north: Beautys Run Road, Lycoming Creek Road north, and Route 14 north.
Severe flooding in August 2024 caused extensive damage to the Route 14 bridge that spanned Trout Run. On September 3, 2024, Route 14 was opened to traffic via a temporary roadway that connected Route 14 to Lycoming Creek Road, bypassing the damaged bridge.
Work on the bridge replacement began in April 2025 and included installing sheet piles between the buildings and the bridge construction site, which provides temporary support during excavation work. Construction of both abutments were completed over the summer months with the beams set and concrete deck poured in September. After a 30-day cure period, remaining work includes the removal of the temporary roadway connector and traffic signals, approach roadway construction, stream restoration, and miscellaneous work.
Rylind Construction Company, Inc., is the prime contractor on this $3.3 million, bridge replacement and stream restoration project. Work on this project is anticipated to be completed in November 2025, weather permitting.
