Montoursville, PA – Motorists are advised that a bridge replacement project is set to begin next week on Cummings Creek Road (Route 4027) in Farmington Township, Tioga County.

Starting on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, Cummings Creek Road will be closed between Route 249 and Route 49, while a Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) bridge crew begins removal of the existing bridge at the intersection with Elkhorn Road (Route 4024). Work on the project includes removal of the existing bridge, installation of a new box culvert, roadway reconstruction, guide rail, paving, and line painting.

A detour using Route 249, Losey Creek Road (Route 4017), and Route 49 will be in place for the duration of the project. Local traffic will have access to their property on either side of the bridge replacement. The project is anticipated to be completed in September, weather permitting.

The existing single span steel I-beam bridge carries Cummings Creek Road over an unnamed tributary to Cummings Creek Road. Originally built in 1924, the bridge was rehabilitated in 1983 and will be replaced with a concrete box culvert.
