The Rapid Bridge Replacement Project continues in Susquehanna County in August with the reconstruction of two bridges in Forest Lake Township.
One of the bridges (JV-146) spans Stone Street Creek on Route 267. Construction begins on Wednesday, August 3, with traffic detoured to Friendsville Road (SR 4014) and Irish Hill Road (SR 4015). The work is expected to be complete by the end of August, and will be performed by RDV Construction. The crossing was built in 1924 and averages 1500 vehicles a day.
The Route 267 (JV-147) crossing over Wyalusing Creek in Forest Lake will begin late August. During construction, drivers will encounter one-lane of alternating traffic in each direction controlled by temporary traffic signals. The bridge is expected to be complete by February, 2017, and will be performed by Clearwater Construction. The 76 year-old bridge averages over 1800 vehicles a day.
Replacing the bridges will remove the current weight limit postings, and will allow PennDOT to remove them from Susquehanna County’s structurally deficient list.
In the event of unfavorable weather or unforeseen activities, this schedule may change.
