The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is developing plans for the Route 2001 (Oak Dale Road) Bridge Replacement over Laurel Creek, Elk Lick Township, Somerset County. The project will involve the replacement of the existing steel I-beam bridge with a new precast concrete box culvert, minimal approach roadway work, and a detour to direct traffic around the project site.

The purpose of this meeting is to provide the public an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed project.
The meeting location is accessible to persons with disabilities. Anyone having special needs or requiring special aid is asked to contact the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation prior to the meeting.
