​Indiana, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is alerting drivers to upcoming lane restrictions on U.S. 422 at the Mentch Bridge in Cherry Hill Township, Indiana County starting March 20, 2023.

Contractor, Francis J. Palo of Clarion, PA will be replacing the bridge carrying westbound U.S. 422 over the State Route 553 off-ramp.  The eastbound bridge was replaced last year.

The project also includes miscellaneous roadway work on U.S. 422 and the State Route 553 off-ramp. Motorists should expect daylight lane closures starting on March 20, weather dependent. These lane closures will be for the construction of the temporary roadway crossover to carry traffic from U.S. 422 westbound onto the U.S. 422 eastbound lane for the construction of the westbound bridge. 

Drivers should remain alert for slowed traffic in this area.

This $7.6 million improvement project is anticipated to be completed by Spring 2024.

Motorists can check conditions on major roadways by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.

511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional Twitter alerts.
