As the final stages of work are completed on the bridge that carries Route 59 over the Kinzua Creek (Allegheny Reservoir) in Mead Township, Warren County two weekend closures have been scheduled.

The bridges are scheduled to be closed for approximately 48 hours starting at 6 p.m. Sept. 26 and again on Oct. 17.

A detour will be posted using Route 6 and Route 321 (Kane-Marshburg Road).

The temporary traffic signal in place on the bridge will remain in operation between the closures. The bridge is expected to be fully opened by late fall 2025.
