The Rapid Bridge Replacement Project continues in Elk County in August with the reconstruction of a bridge in Horton Township. The bridge (JV-49) spans Mead Run on Route 219, just north of the village of Brockport. Replacing the bridge will remove the current weight limit postings of 36-ton for single vehicles and 40-ton for combination vehicles. Replacement will also allow PennDOT to remove it from Elk County’s structurally deficient list.
Construction is expected to start during the week of August 8 and be complete in early November. During this time, drivers will encounter one-lane of alternating traffic in each direction controlled by temporary traffic signals.
In the event of unfavorable weather or unforeseen activities, this schedule may change.
