The road and bridge construction schedule this week includes the start of a bridge replacement project in Young Township.
The replacement of the bridge carrying Rearick Road over Blackleggs Creek begins on Monday with the closure of Rearick Road between Wertz Road and Shrokman Road.
Also tomorrow, the replacement of the Broadhead Run Bridge in Canoe Township gets underway. The prep work will last from April 6th until July 7th, when Locust Lane will close between Wright Road and Oberlin Hill Road through September 29th. The work is scheduled for completion at the end of October. It’s almost a ten-mile detour, which you can check out by visiting this story on our website.
