The Route 87 (Loyalsock Avenue) bridge, spanning a tributary to Loyalsock Creek in Upper Fairfield Township, is scheduled to be replaced as part of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s (PennDOT) Rapid Bridge Replacement Project. Replacement of this bridge will allow PennDOT to remove it from Lycoming County’s structurally deficient list.
Construction is expected to begin during the week of October 5 and be complete in November. During this time, drivers will utilize a temporary roadway around the bridge.
In the event of unfavorable weather or unforeseen activities, this schedule may change.
This bridge is referred to as JV-108 out of the 558 bridges being replaced under the Rapid Bridge Replacement Project. JV references the joint-venture partnership between Walsh/Granite, which is leading construction for the entire project.
