StateSt_Map.png

Project Overview

The purpose of the project is to preserve the bridge that carries State Street (Veterans Memorial Bridge) over the Allegheny River in Oil City, Venango County.

The bridge is located on State Street between the intersection with East Front Street (Route 62) and the intersection with Seneca Street and Elm Street. It is owned by Venango County.

The project will focus on repairs to the concrete bridge deck, barriers, abutments and piers, as well as replacement of the expansion joints and upgrades to lighting. Work is expected to occur during the 2023 construction season.

A detour will be required during construction and is expected to be in place for approximately four months. The proposed detour route, which is less than one mile in length, will use East Front Street (Route 62/Route 2008), Route 62 (Petroleum Street), Route 62/Route8 (Main Street), and Center Street (Route 6008).

The existing steel girder bridge was built in 1990. It is classified as fair condition and has no posted weight restrictions. Approximately 17,000 vehicles a day use the bridge, on average.
