Traffic pattern to change for Centre County bridge project

CENTRE COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is alerting drivers that the current traffic pattern for a bridge project in Centre County will be changing.

Drivers will be directed to a temporary roadway at the site of a bridge replacement project on Route 504 (Black Moshannon Road) in Rush Township. This traffic change will start on Monday, July 29. The project is set to improve safety and ride quality by improving the overall condition of the bridge.

On Wednesday, July 31, the roadway will be closed for 24 hours, and a detour will be in place. Traffic will follow Route 3032 (Beaver Road), Route 220, Route 3042 (High Street) and Route 322, back to Route 504. This will facilitate the placing of a new box culvert structure to replace the existing bridge on Route 504 spanning One Mile Run Road.

Once the concrete structure is in place, drivers will again be routed over the temporary roadway near the work site.
