The bridge is located on Miles Run Road, a township owned road, approximately 0.4 miles west of the intersection with Route 6.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to view the plans to replace the bridge on Miles Run Road in Pittsfield Township.

The bridge is located on Miles Run Road, a township owned road, approximately 0.4 miles west of the intersection with Route 6.

The Miles Run Road Bridge Replacement Project will include removing the existing bridge and replacing it with a new concrete structure, including new concrete abutments.

The existing concrete, steel and stone bridge was constructed in 1950 and later widened with two additional steel beams. It is rated in poor condition and posted with an 11-ton weight limit. Approximately 100 vehicles a day use the bridge, on average with 1% truck traffic. The bridge is owned by Pittsfield Township.

Construction is expected to take place during the 2028 construction season.

A detour will be required during construction and is expected to be in place for approximately 3 months. The proposed 8-mile detour uses Miles Run Road, Panther Gap Road, Deadman’s Run Road, and Route 6.
