Work to Begin on T-372 (Ravensburg Road Bridge) Replacement Project
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today announced prime contractor, Cottle’s Asphalt Maintenance, Inc., of Everett, PA, will begin work on the T-372 (Ravensburg Road Bridge) rehabilitation project in Ayr Township, Fulton County, on Monday, June 1.
On Monday, temporary traffic signals will be placed to control one-lane traffic. Work will be performed on one half of the bridge, which runs over Big Cove Creek, at a time. Traffic will be switched at the appropriate time and the remaining side will be completed.
The scope of work will consist of removal of the existing bituminous wearing surface and the addition of a new 5-inch composite, concrete deck. Minor roadway approach work and guiderail upgrades will also be completed.
Work on this bridge is expected to be complete by mid-August 2020. All work on this $1.8 million project that includes the rehabilitation of eleven local bridges in Bedford, Fulton and Huntingdon Counties will be finished by November 2021. All work is weather dependent.
Work on this project will be in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and state Department of Health guidance as well as a project-specific COVID-19 safety plan, which will include protocols for social distancing, use of face coverings, personal and job-site cleaning protocols, management of entries to the job-site, and relevant training.
