    Project Overview

    County: Venango 
    Municipality: Scrubgrass Township
    State Route: Route 208
    Local Name: Emlenton Clintonville Road
    Project Type: Bridge Repairs
    MPMS Number: 97401
    Proposed Construction Start: 2026
    Last Updated: 04/25/25

    This is a project to repair the bridge that carries Route 208 over Little Scrubgrass Creek in Scrubgrass Township, Venango County.

    Proposed repairs will take place on the lower portion of the bridge, including the construction of a liner system beneath the existing arch and filling the space between with reinforced concrete and grout.

    The bridge is located on Route 208 (Emlenton Clintonville Road), approximately three-quarter mile east of the Rockdale (Route 3007) and half-mile west of the Stone Church Road (Route 3009).

    Work is expected to occur during the 2026 construction season.

    A detour is not needed to accommodate construction and the bridge will remain open to traffic for the entirety of the work.

    Right-of-way impacts and temporary construction easements will be needed to accommodate access and construction.

    The bridge was built in 1960. It is used by approximately 1,000 vehicles a day, on average. The bridge is rated in poor condition.
