Work begins on culvert replacement

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has announced that work will start on a second culvert in a two-culvert replacement project on Business 220 (Route 4009), beginning today in Bedford Township, Bedford County.

The contractor will begin work on Business 220 over the Dunnings Creek tributary bridge. Work will include replacing the existing structure with a precast reinforced concrete box culvert, roadway approach work and guardrail and drainage upgrades. This culvert is located near Beldon Road.

A 6.2-mile detour will use Business 220, Route 220, I-99 and Quaker Valley Road (PA 56). The detour will be lifted by Aug. 24.

Cottles Asphalt Maintenance Inc. of Everett is the contractor.

Work on the Business 220 culvert over Brush Run Bridge — replacing the existing structure with a precast reinforced concrete box culvert, roadway approach work, guardrail and drainage upgrades — will be completed before the new project begins. The structure is located at the Business Park entrance.

Work on the $1.4 million project should be finished in October.

Flagging to start for resurfacing

Work on a resurfacing project Shirley Township and Mount Union Borough in Huntingdon County will begin today.

PennDOT said resurfacing of East Shirley Street (Route 2025) between Division Street (Route 747) and Route 522 will be done by the prime contractor, New Enterprise Stone & Lime Co. Inc.

Today, the contractor will begin work under daylight flagging operations. Temporary work zone traffic patterns will be used for the length of the project. Motorists should use caution and expect delays.

The project consists of resurfacing, guardrail, signal and drainage upgrades on East Shirley Street from Division Street to Route 522 in Mount Union Borough and Shirley Township.

Work on the $640,000 project is expected to be completed by the end of October.
