This bridge preservation project includes an epoxy overlay and repair of a bridge in Richland, Beaver, Paint, and Monroe townships from about 2.3 miles east of the Venango/Butler County line to 0.82 miles east of the Route 66 North interchange.

There will be multiple lane closures both eastbound and westbound throughout the duration of the project. There also will be a vehicle width restriction of 11 feet.

This $17 million project is anticipated to be completed in the fall.
