PennDOT Restarting Work on Route 6 Bridge in Potter County

​Clearfield, PA - The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that it closed one lane of a bridge along Route 6 that spans Trout Brook approximately one mile east of Roulette and activated temporary traffic signals. Repairing this bridge will extend its service life and improve its overall condition rating.

While work is ongoing, the temporary signals will enforce an alternating traffic pattern where drivers take turns crossing the bridge via the open lane. PennDOT anticipates the contractor completing the work by early November. All work is weather-dependent.

Structural repairs at this bridge are part of a Route 6 improvement project that started during the 2023 construction season. Work completed last year included paving, drainage improvements, guide rail installation, two structure rehabilitations, pavement marking, and miscellaneous construction. Glenn O. Hawbaker Inc. of State College, PA, is the contractor on this $7.6 million project.
