    The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is developing plans for the Route 2013 (Palo Alto Road) Bridge Replacement Project in Southampton Township, Somerset County.

    The structure carries Palo Alto Road over Gladdens Run and is located approximately 100 feet east of the intersection of Palo Alto Road and Kennells Mill Road. During construction traffic in both directions along Palo Alto Road will be detoured for a maximum duration of two weeks, with local access maintained to all local business and residential driveways at the project site. After completion of the bridge replacements, the approach roadway will be rebuilt to a similar configuration as the current conditions.

    The project will involve the replacement of the existing steel I-beam bridge with a new precast concrete box culvert, and minimal approach roadway work.
