The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to view the online plans display for a project to improve the roadway of East High Street in the Borough of Sharpsville, Mercer County.
The project is located on East High Street between North Walnut Street and the Kelly Road Bridge over the Shenango River.
The proposed project will include resurfacing of the existing roadway, drainage improvements, and provide pedestrians and bicyclists with a safer route through the project corridor that will include new "Share the Road" signage and pavement markings.
Work is expected to occur during the 2024 construction season.
A detour will be required during construction and is expected to be in place for approximately one month. The proposed less than a half mile detour route will be posted using East Shenango Street and North Walnut Street. Traffic will also be controlled by flaggers.
The online plans display for the E. High Street Improvement Project, which will be held online only, includes a handout, digital plans, and an online comment form. It will be open until January 22, 2024 and can be accessed by visiting the PennDOT District 1 website, www.penndot.pa.gov/District1 under the Design and Construction Projects link.
Those unable to access the information online may give feedback by contacting PennDOT Project Manager Kyle Barker at kybarker@pa.gov or 814-678-7166.
The purpose of the plans display is to introduce the project and receive public input regarding any questions or concerns with the project. It is also an opportunity for the public to review and comment on the project's potential effect upon Cultural Resources pursuant to the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's 36 CFR Part 800 regulations implementing Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.
