EMLENTON, Pa. – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to view a display of plans for the rehabilitation of three bridges over Interstate 80 in Clinton and Scrubgrass townships, Venango County.
The three bridges included in the project carry Route 308, Rockdale Road (SR 3007), and Stone Church Road (SR 3009) over Interstate 80. All three pre-stressed concrete box beam bridges were built in 1964.
Work on the Rockdale Road bridge will be done in 2018. Work on the Route 308 and Stone Church Road bridges is scheduled for 2019.
The Route 308 bridge is classified as functionally obsolete and is used by an average of 1,500 vehicles each day. Work at this location will include milling the existing pavement and pouring a new bridge deck. There will be separate detours for northbound and southbound traffic. The northbound detour will be 14.5 miles and uses Interstate 80 and Route 38. The southbound detour 11.6 miles for southbound traffic and uses Interstate 80 and Route 208. The detour is expected to be in place for two months.
The Rockdale Road (SR 3007) bridge is classified as functionally obsolete and is used by an average of 235 vehicles each day. Work at this location will include milling the existing pavement, paving, pier repairs and encasing, and waterproofing. The detour will be six miles and will use Indian Rocks Road (SR 3010), Rockdale Road (SR 3007), Route 208, and Stone Church Road (SR 3009). The detour is expected to be in place for 45 days.
The Stone Church Road bridge (SR 3009) is classified as structurally deficient and is used by an average of 165 vehicles each day. Work will include milling existing pavement and pouring a new bridge deck. The detour will be six miles and uses Indian Rock Road (SR 3010), Rockdale Road (SR 3007), Route 208, and Stone Church Road (SR 3007). The detour is expected to be in place for two months.
