The sanitary sewer line work along Main Street will continue on
Monday, with the roadway restricted to one lane for traffic.

That’s the word from the Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation, who indicated Thursday that traffic delays are
expected in that location while the work proceeds. Flagmen will be
in place to direct traffic.

Also on the docket for the ongoing rehabilitation of the U.S.
Route 219 Bradford Bypass project is pile driving work for the
bridges over Forman, Mill and Main streets.

Meanwhile, drainage work will continue in the old southbound
lanes of traffic on the bypass, as well as excavation work.

Officials also announced the southbound exit of Forman Street
will remain closed, with traffic able to access downtown Bradford
by following the Route 346 West detour.

Flagmen will also be in place at the truck crossing on Jackson
Avenue in the vicinity of Delaware Avenue. Officials said traffic
will be stopped periodically.

All the work is weather dependent.

PennDOT also announced the following ramps will be closed to
traffic next week: southbound off-ramp at Forman Street and all
southbound on- and off-ramps at Kendall and Seaward avenues. Detour
signs will be in place for all ramp closures.

Meanwhile, the following ramps will remain open: all northbound
and southbound ramps at Owens Way; northbound off-ramp at Elm
Street; southbound on-ramp at Elm Street; northbound on-ramp at
Forman Street; northbound on- and off-ramps at Kendall Avenue; and
all ramps at Bolivar Drive.

Traffic will be in this configuration until further notice.

The $55.4 million rehabilitation project is being done by
Mascaro Construction Co. of Pittsburgh, with Bob Cummins
Construction Co. of Bradford as the main contractor for the bridge
demolition work.
