Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to an online plans display regarding the US 11/15 bridge preservation project. This project is located over the Juniata River in Reed Township, Dauphin County, and Penn Township, Perry County, approximately 1.5 miles northeast of Duncannon, PA. The purpose of this project is to extend the life of the bridge and provide continued safe and efficient crossing of US 11/15 over the Juniata River.
The project consists of miscellaneous steel repairs, fatigue treatments, painting of steel superstructure, joint replacements, and the placement of a latex modified concrete (LMC) overlay. A protective fence will be installed on the exterior barriers and guide rail to bridge barrier connections will be upgraded. Construction will be completed utilizing staged construction. Single lane closures northbound and southbound will maintain one lane of traffic in each direction.
The project is currently in design and construction work is expected to take place in the 2027 construction season.
A plans display will be held online only. A digital version of the information will be available to view online through February 12, 2026.
Information, including bridge plans and an interactive comment form, can be found by visiting the PennDOT District 8 website, PennDOT District 8, clicking Projects Near You listed on the left side of the page, then the District 8 Projects, and choosing US 11/15 over Juniata River Bridge Preservation.
