​Montoursville, PA – Motorists are advised that a bridge replacement and intersection improvement project continues on Route 405 (Water Street) in Muncy Borough, Lycoming County.

Week of June 27
On Monday, June 27 through Friday, July 1, the intersection of Water Street and Washington Street will be closed, while the contractor completes roadwork in this area. Motorists should follow the below listed detours.

Work on the bridge that carries Water Street over Glade Run continues. The beams have been set and the bridge deck has been poured. The new bridge will mimic the style of the existing bridge but will have improved sidewalks and a larger opening to improve stream flow.
