From staff reports
A two-year project to preserve and rehabilitate three bridges over Interstate 80 in Clinton and Scrubgrass townships in Venango County will resume April 1.
The three bridges included in the project carry Route 308, Rockdale Road (Route 3007) and Stone Church Road (Route 3009) over Interstate 80. All three pre-stressed concrete box beam bridges were built in 1964.
The second year of the project will start at the bridge that carries Route 308 over Interstate 80 in Clinton Township. Work will include the replacement of the bridge deck and parapets, and rehabilitation of the substructure.
The bridge is expected to be closed to traffic from April 1 to June 21. A detour will be posted separately for southbound and northbound traffic.
Northbound traffic will use Interstate 80 eastbound, Route 308, and Route 38. Southbound traffic will use Interstate 80 westbound, Route 8, and Route 308.
No closures are anticipated for the Interstate 80 ramps at milepost 35 (Route 308, Clintonville).
Later in the 2019 construction season, work will be done to rehabilitate the Stone Church Road bridge in Scrubgrass Township. It is classified as in poor condition and is used by an average of 165 vehicles each day.
Upgrades to the Rockdale Road bridge in Scrubgrass Township were completed in 2018, and included milling, paving, pier repairs and encasing, and waterproofing.
The contractor is Thornbury of Sunbury. The contract cost is $2,504,834.10, which is to be paid entirely with state funds.
This project was made possible by Act 89, Pennsylvania’s transportation funding plan.
