This is the first portion of work that will be carried out in Bedford, as well as Cambria and Huntingdon counties.
On Monday, debris removal work on Route 1020 will be in between bridge trusses. Traffic for this part of the project will be controlled by daylight flagging and channeling devices. Motorists are advised to use caution and watch for construction personnel and vehicles.
