The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is presently developing plans for Route 3009 (Valley Forge Road) over Blair Gap Run in Juniata Township, Blair County. ​

The project is a bridge superstructure replacement project, which will include the removal of the existing superstructure and placement of a steel I-beam with concrete deck superstructure. It will also include minor approach paving and guide rail upgrades. A detour will be utilized during the construction of the project.
