Youghiogheny

The road bridge over Bruners Run to the Youghiogheny River Lower Yough take-out in Ohiopyle State Park, Pennsylvania is scheduled to close to all traffic starting October 7, 2024. The closure is due to the bridge's replacement and road repairs.

The road closure will impact river access, and it's recommended to check with the park before planning a trip on the Lower Youghiogheny River in late fall. Some alternative runs may be needed.

Here are some other details about the closure:
The take-out road will close to weekdays starting October 1, 2024, for equipment staging.
The shuttle bus will run on Saturday and Sunday, October 5–6, 2024.
The park will continue to update the boating community as work progresses.

The State is planning to replace a road bridge over Bruner Run starting sometime in October, with the project lasting 6-8 weeks and timed just before the asphalt plants shut down for the winter. This will impact river access for this timeframe. Check with the Park before planning a late fall trip on the Lower, and you'll likely need to pick an alternative run.
