​The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today announced Cottles Asphalt Maintenance, Inc., of Everett, will begin work on a two-culvert replacement project on Route 4009 (Business 220) beginning on Monday, June 8 in Bedford Township, Bedford County. 

On Monday, the contractor will begin work on the northernmost bridge over Brush Run by setting the detour signing, closing the roadway, installing erosion and sediment pollution control measures and then start the demolition of the existing structure.

Work on the Route 4009 (Business 220) culvert over Brush Run Bridge consists of replacing the existing structure with a precast reinforced concrete box culvert also with roadway approach work, guide rail and drainage upgrades. This structure is located at the Business Park entrance.

Work on the Route 4009 (Business 220) over Dunnings Creek Tributary bridge includes replacing the existing structure with a precast reinforced concrete box culvert along with roadway approach work and guide rail and drainage upgrades as needed. This culvert is located near at Beldon Road.
