Montoursville, PA – A bridge deck replacement project is set to begin next week on Austinville Road (Route 4016) in Columbia Township, Bradford County. The bridge over South Creek is located just west of Route 14 (Columbia Cross Roads).
Starting on Monday, June 1, Austinville Road will be closed between Watkins Hill Road (Route 4010) and Short Street, while a Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) bridge crew begins work on the bridge deck replacement. Work on the project includes removal of the existing bridge deck, bridge repairs, install new concrete deck, structure mounted guide rail, rock protection for the wing walls and streambank, approach work, and line painting.
A detour using Watkins Hill Road, Iron Mine Road (Route 4019), Route 6, and Route 14 will be in place for the duration of the project. Work on the project is anticipated to be completed in August, weather permitting.
