Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that a bridge replacement project including a detour around the project site will begin in Otto Township, McKean County on Tuesday, June 18. The bridge is located on Route 346 spanning Tram Hollow Run. This will improve safety and ride quality for motorists by replacing the bridge and bringing the quality to a higher standard.
Route 346 (Main Street/Derrick Road) will be closed, and work will begin June 18. The detour will utilize Route 246 (Looker Mountain Trail) and Route 646 (Summit Road) where each route intersects with 346, routing traffic around the project for a detour length of approximately 12.5 miles.
The existing bridge structure will be removed and replaced with a pre-cast box culvert type bridge. Bob Cummins Construction is the contractor on this $1.5 million project. PennDOT anticipates completion in August, but all work is weather dependent.
