    A Bridge Rehabilitation Project is Planned to Begin on Route 54 in Lycoming County

    April 10, 2026

    Montoursville, PA – Preparation work will begin next week for a bridge rehabilitation project of the bridge carrying Route 54 over the West Branch Susquehanna River in Montgomery Borough and Muncy Creek Township, Lycoming County.

    Starting on Monday, April 13, the contractor, J.D. Eckman, Inc., will have a crew surveying the bridge in preparation for the upcoming rehabilitation. Drivers can anticipate single lane conditions during daylight hours. 

    J.D. Eckman, Inc. is the prime contractor for this $1.9 million bridge rehabilitation project. Work includes removal of the existing concrete deck overlay and replacement with a new concrete overlay, complete curb repairs, replacement of expansion joint seal materials to protect the ends of the existing steel beams from water and salt, minor bridge approach roadway work, and line painting. The bridge will be closed during the rehabilitation and traffic will be using Route 405 and Interstate 180. A press release will be provided prior to the bridge closure. Additional work includes application of a milling waterproofing layer and resurfacing on the bridges carrying Route 220 over Quenshukeny Run in Woodward Township. Work on this project is anticipated to be completed in the fall 2026, weather permitting.
