CLEARFIELD — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation will begin work on Monday to replace a bridge on Route 155 in Cameron County.
Replacing the bridge will allow PennDOT to remove it from Cameron County’ s structurally deficient list.
The bridge spans Cowley Run, near the entrance to Sizerville State Park. The current 67-foot bridge dates from 1942 and carries an average of more than 2,000 vehicles each day.
When the project starts on Monday, an alternating traffic pattern will be enforced by temporary traffic signals, allowing crews to build the new bridge under a half-width configuration. The new bridge is expected to be complete by the end of October.
Other project work includes drainage improvements, roadway widening, paving, and guide rail updates. All work is weather and schedule dependent. L.C. Whitford Company, Inc., of Wellsville, N.Y. is the contractor on this $1.8 million project.
