PennDOT to Close Elmwood Street Bridge Near Lemont on June 9

Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that a Route 3010 (Elmwood Street) bridge near Lemont will close on Monday, June 9, as part of a bridge rehabilitation project. Rehabilitating the bridge, which spans Route 322 near the Route 26-State College exit in College Township, Centre County, will improve its ride quality, extend its service life, and improve its overall condition rating from fair to good.

Once the bridge closes on Monday, drivers will follow a detour using Pike Street and Route 26 to navigate around the closure. PennDOT expects the bridge to remain closed until mid-September. All work is weather-dependent.

Work on this bridge includes concrete beam and deck repairs, installation of reinforcement bars and new strip seals, an epoxy overlay, approach paving, pavement marking, and miscellaneous construction.

Two other Centre County bridges are part of this contract. Work on a Route 504 bridge spanning Wallace Run in Boggs Township was completed during the 2024 construction season. Repairs to a Route 26 bridge spanning Route 322 were completed this week. H&P Construction Inc. of Kulpmont, PA, is the contractor on this $1.4 million project.
