ErieOldRoute99BridgesMapPic.jpg

Project Overview

The propose of this project is to replace three bridges that carry Old Route 99 (T-480) over Lamson Run and a tributary to Lamson Run in McKean Township, Erie County. Work will also include new roadway approaches and guiderail. All the bridges are owned and maintained by McKean Township. Details on each bridge are included under the public meeting information. 

Work on all three structures is expected to take place during the 2025 construction season.

The same detour is proposed for all three bridges and is expected to be in place for approximately eight months. The proposed 2.1-mile detour route will be posted using Edinboro Road (Route 699) and Golden Road.

Money for the construction is being provided by PennDOT through a targeted effort focused on encouraged counties to create new funding for local bridge projects.
