PennDOT has completed work on the new Hicks Run Bridge on Route 555 in Gibson Township, Cameron County. Traffic began using the new bridge this afternoon.

Crews have been working since February to replace the old bridge. With traffic now using the new bridge, PennDOT will begin work to remove the temporary, one-lane bridge and signal that had been in place during construction. The new bridge opened about a week ahead of schedule. The bridge is located on Route 555 near the Elk and Cameron counties line.

Overall project work has included replacement of the old bridge, approach work and miscellaneous construction. The L.C. Whitford Company, Inc. of Wellsville, New York was the contractor on this $1.1 million job.

PennDOT reminds motorists they can log on to 511pa.com or call 511 from any phone to check traffic conditions before heading out.
