PennDOT Announces Start Date for Route 75 Bridge Restoration

​Clearfield, PA - The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) said restoration work on a truss bridge along a Route 75 bridge spanning First Street and the Juniata River in Port Royal Borough will start on Monday, October 7. The project involves removing and replacing overhead structural members, painting, and other non-critical repairs.

The contractor will keep one lane of the bridge open for most of the project duration. It will implement eight-hour closures on Sunday, October 13, and Sunday, October 20. It will close the road between 8:00 AM and 2:00 PM on those dates and implement a detour using Routes 333, 35, and 3002 (Main Street).

PennDOT hopes that closing the bridges on Sunday will minimize traffic disruptions for motorists. It anticipates project completion after lifting the detour on Sunday, October 20, but notes that all work is weather-dependent.
