Bridge Work Begins on Rt 555

 Benezette Township

 BRIDGE WORK TO START MAY 3rd IN DENTS RUN ON SR 555

 According to PennDOT the preliminary work on a bridge rehabilitation job in Elk County will start Monday May 3rd. The bridge spans Dents Run on Route 555 in Benezette Township. Starting Monday, crews will be working to mobilize equipment, install erosion and sediment controls, and begin construction of a temporary roadway. Once work replacing the structure of the bridge begins, drivers will use a temporary roadway to move through the work zone in an alternating traffic pattern. The traffic pattern will be controlled by temporary traffic signals. PennDOT will issue updates on this project as traffic impacts occur. 

Work on this project will take place through September and is weather and scheduling dependent. PennDOT reminds drivers to use caution in work zones, obey posted speed limits, and always buckle up!
