Reconstruction Project Begins Next Week on Airport Road in Monroe Township, Snyder County

Montoursville, PA – Drivers are advised that starting next week, a portion of Airport Road (T-469) will be closed in Monroe Township, Snyder County, for a reconstruction project.

Between Monday, August 10 and Friday, August 28, Airport Road will be closed between North Susquehanna Trail (Route 522) and South Old Trails (T-463), while the contractor, Trumbull Corporation, completes a full depth reconstruction of the roadway. Work includes removal of the existing road layers, installation of new base, paving, and line painting. Additional work includes drainage upgrades and construction of new curbs.

A detour using North Susquehanna Trail and Washington Avenue (T-494) will be in place for the duration of the project.

Drivers should be alert, expect delays in travel, and drive with caution.

Work on this project is part of the third contract for the Southern Section of the Central Susquehanna Valley Transportation (CSVT) project. The prime contractor for this $186.4 million project is a Joint Venture between Trumbull Corporation and Golden Triangle Construction. Work includes paving of the CSVT mainline, the Route 61 Connector, and various interchange ramps, as well as drainage structure, guide rail, traffic signals, highway lighting, and overhead sign structures.   Additional work to be completed includes:

  • Adjustments of existing local roads and property access along Route 522 and Routes 11/15 to accommodate the CSVT’s southern interchange,
  • Construction of a noise wall along the CSVT southbound lanes near South Old Trail,
  • Replacement of the existing bridge carrying Route 61 over existing Routes 11/15,
  • Completion of the Cortland Drive Connector between the Weatherfield, and Orchard Hills neighborhoods in Shamokin Dam, and
