The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is informing motorists of the upcoming road closure and detour of Route 3007 (Humbert Road) in Lower Turkeyfoot Township, Somerset County, from Wednesday, August 6 to October 21, 2025, for the Smith Run Bridge replacement project.
The 14.1-mile detour of Route 3007 (Humbert Road) will guide traffic around the work zone using Route 281 (Kingwood Road) from the south end (north of Ursina, Pa.), and from the intersection with Route 3007 (Casselman Road) at the north end.
JVI Group, Inc., York Springs, Pa., is the contractor for the $768,827.00 bridge replacement project, which also includes roadway approach work, widening, high-friction surface treatment, and guide rail upgrades.
As always, PennDOT stresses extra caution in all work zones. Motorists should drive slowly, eliminate all distractions, and stay alert for direction from advanced signage and flaggers.
Additionally, PennDOT reminds motorists that as of June 5, 2025, the "Paul Miller's Law" is in effect. This law prohibits the use of hand-held devices while driving, even while stopped temporarily due to traffic, a red light, or other momentary delay. Violation of this law is punishable by way of summary citations issued by any Pennsylvania Law Enforcement officer.
We strongly urge motorists to make safe choices, put phones out of reach and don’t text and drive.
