Montoursville, PA – Motorists are advised a bridge replacement project is scheduled to begin next week on Route 4039 (Hills Creek Road) between Route 4037 (Hills Creek Lake Road) in Charleston Township and Route 4037 (Hills Creek Lake Road) in Middlebury Township, Tioga County.
On Tuesday, June 20th, a Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) maintenance crew will begin work to replace the bridge that carries traffic over Hills Creek. The bridge will be closed and a detour using Route 4037 Hills Creek Lake Road will be in place for the duration of the project.
