CLEARFIELD – Area drivers will encounter temporary signals soon as rehabilitation work gets underway on the Mosquito Creek Bridge in Clearfield County. The bridge is located on Route 1011 near the village of Karthaus and the intersection with Route 879.
Traffic signals will be in place on Route 1011(Karthaus/Piper Highway) and on the northbound ramp from Route 879. Motorists are cautioned to slow down as they approach the signals and work zone. Motorists should also be prepared to stop.
Two-way traffic will remain in effect on the bridge as the signals go into flash mode on March 31. On April 4, the signals will be fully operational and traffic will alternate turns across the bridge. Temporary concrete barrier will also be in place through the work zone.
