Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced rehabilitation work on a Route 3010 (Elmwood Street) bridge near Lemont will start Monday, April 7. Rehabilitating the bridge, which spans Route 322 near the Route 26-State College exit in College Township, Centre County, will improve its ride quality, extend its service life, and improve its overall condition rating from fair to good.
Starting Monday, drivers on Route 322 may encounter short-term lane and shoulder closures while crews work underneath the bridge. PennDOT expects traffic impacts to be minimal but urges drivers to exercise caution in this and all work zones, obey posted speed limits, and always buckle up.
The bridge will remain open until the end of the school year. PennDOT will close the bridge during the summer so the contractor can complete the project, and it will issue an update on detour information before closing the structure.
Work on this bridge includes concrete beam and deck repairs, installation of reinforcement bars and new strip seals, an epoxy overlay, approach paving, pavement marking, and miscellaneous construction. PennDOT expects the contractor to complete work on this bridge late in September. All work is weather-dependent.
Two other Centre County bridges are part of this contract. Work on a Route 504 bridge spanning Wallace Run in Boggs Township was completed during the 2024 construction season. Work on a Route 26 bridge spanning Route 322 will see work later this construction season. H&P Construction Inc. of Kulpmont, PA, is the contractor on this $1.4 million project.
