Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that a replacement project will close a Route 2024 (Old Erie Pike) structure spanning a branch of Morgan Run three miles southeast of Dimeling on Thursday, August 7. Replacing this structure will improve its overall condition rating.
While the bridge is closed, traffic will follow a detour using Route 2051, Route 2049, Route 2028 (Long Run Road), and Route 2027 (Mineral Springs Road). PennDOT anticipates the detour will be in place until mid-September, but all schedules are weather-dependent.
Work on this project includes the replacement of the structure, approach paving, and guiderail installation. The $245,600 project is a joint effort between PennDOT Clearfield County maintenance forces and C.H. & D. Enterprises, Inc., of New Stanton, PA. PennDOT crews will complete the excavation and backfill. The contractor will replace the structure, complete the approach paving, install the guide rail, and paint the pavement markings.
