Pittsburgh, PA – PennDOT District 11 is announcing traffic shifts on the Route 18 Frankfort Road Bridge replacement project in Potter Township, Beaver County will begin Monday, March 3 weather permitting.
Beginning at approximately 6 a.m. on Monday, a long-term traffic shift will occur on the Route 18 bridge over Raccoon Creek continuously through early October. Two 11-foot lanes will be maintained as a new bridge is constructed adjacent to the existing structure. Periodic single-lane alternating traffic will occur from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. during the work.
The existing bridge will maintain traffic while the new structure and roadway realignment are constructed. A reduced duration detour will be utilized to allow crews to complete the roadway tie-ins towards the end of the project. The $25.28 million project also includes a sidewalk and aesthetic architectural surface treatments on the bridge. The overall project is anticipated to conclude in 2027.
Please use caution if traveling in the area.
