    This is a project to replace the bridge that carries President Road (Route 2023) over Porcupine Creek in President Township, Venango County.

    The bridge is located on President Road approximately one mile south of the intersection with Route 62 and four miles north of the intersection with Route 157.

    The project consists of the replacement of an existing steel bridge with concrete structure. Minor paving work will be done near the bridge. Work will also include updated guiderail and drainage, and new signs and roadway paint.

    Construction is expected to begin June 16, 2025, weather permitting, and is expected to be completed by November 2025.

    The existing single span steel bridge was built in 1958. It is classified as poor condition and is posted with a weight limit of one truck at a time. Approximately 75 vehicles a day use the bridge, on average. 

    The contractor is Thomas Construction of Grove City, PA. The contract cost is $1,564,954.49, which is to be paid entirely with federal funds.
