The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is alerting motorists that Genesee Wyoming/Buffalo & Pittsburgh Railroad will soon begin work to reconstruct a railroad crossing on Route 770 (Minard Road) south of Bradford. 

This work is scheduled to begin on Monday, August 30 and is expected to last 5 days. During the work, the crossing will be closed, and a short detour will be in place. The detour will use Route 770, Route 4005 (Main Street/High Street), Route 4002 (Owens Way), and Route 219. Message Boards will be in place to notify travelers of the planned work.

PennDOT reminds drivers to follow detour signs, approach railroad crossings with care, and to “Always expect a train.”
