​The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), in accordance with Governor Tom Wolf’s COVID-19 mitigation efforts, will conduct a virtual plans display to inform the public of the proposed bridge replacement on Route 1015 (Wambaugh Hollow Road) in Allegheny Township, Somerset County.

The project will include the replacement of the existing bridge on Route 1015 (Wambaugh Road) over the Raystown Branch of the Juniata River with a single span reinforced concrete spread box beam bridge. The project will also consist of minor roadway approach work including guide rail updates and roadway approach paving.  The detour route for this project is anticipated to be in place for 20 weeks.

The virtual display website will be available to view and to leave comments from Friday, May 21, 2021 - Friday, June 4, 2021. Its purpose is to provide the public an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed project.
