Drivers should anticipate traffic impacts while the contractor finalizes construction activities.
Montoursville, PA – Work continues next week on the Montgomery River Bridge in Montgomery Borough, Lycoming County. The bridge reopened to traffic on Monday, September 21.
The Week of September 28, drivers can expect single lane conditions with flagging between First Street in Montgomery and River Road in Muncy Creek Township, while the contractor, J.D. Eckman, Inc., is working during daylight hours.
The bridge, which was built in 1938, was closed in August while the contractor removed a portion of the bridge deck and applied a new concrete overlay. Additional work included curb repairs, replacement of joint seals, approach work, and line painting.
Drivers should be alert, slow down, expect delays in travel, and drive with caution.
J.D. Eckman, Inc. is the prime contractor for this $1.9 million bridge rehabilitation project. Work includes removal of a portion 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.
This project is combined with a bridge and road resurfacing project on the bridges carrying Route 220 over Quenshukeny Run in Woodward Township. Work includes milling, application of a waterproofing layer, resurfacing, and line painting. Work on this project is anticipated to be completed in the fall 2026, weather permitting.
