PennDOT lays out plans for Clarion County bridges

From staff reports

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced plans for six Clarion County bridges under its Rapid Bridge Replacement program.

One of those bridges will be the subject of a public plans display.

The plans for the Hodil Run structure replacement project in Licking Township and Sligo Borough will be revealed from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 29, at the Sligo Recreation Center at 448 Colerain St. PennDOT representatives will be available to answer questions. Preliminary information on the project’s status, schedule, design and traffic control during construction will be available for review and comment.

PennDOT suggests anyone with knowledge of historic resources in the project area or comments on potential impacts to historic resources to attend this meeting.

Anyone with questions regarding the project should contact Jason Layman, project manager, at 724-357-7614.

The project will cost an estimated $500,000 to $1 million, according to PennDOT. Construction is scheduled in 2020. It is planned as a phased project, which means one lane will remain open to traffic. No detours will be involved.
