The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is advising motorist of minor delays as work begins on Route 994 over Tatman Run in Huntingdon County next week.

The replacement of the bridge on Route 994 over Tatman Run is expected to begin on April 23 and conclude in September. Traffic delays are expected to be minimal but include sitting at a temporary signal light for up to five minutes and the use of a temporary road off and back onto Route 994. Motorists are advised to plan accordingly and allow for the minor delay.

The work is part of a $1.8 million project is estimated to be complete in October with Kukurin Contracting of Export, Pa., serving as the lead contractor.

In addition to the replacement of the single-span I-beam bridge with a wider, single-span compositive prestressed spread box beam structure, the project includes roadway work and guiderail upgrades.
