PennDOT Announces Public Meeting and Online Plans Display for the West Park Street (Route 6) & Maple Avenue (Route 3032) Intersection Project in Honesdale, Wayne County

Dunmore, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to virtual and public plans displays regarding the West Park Street (Route 6) Maple Avenue (Route 3032) Intersection Project in Wayne County. The public plans display will be held at the Chamber of Commerce Building, 32 Commercial Street, Honesdale, PA, on September 23, 2026, beginning at 6:00 PM.

The Route 6 Section project is an intersection improvement project in Honesdale Borough in Wayne County, PA. The purpose of this project is to improve safety at the intersection of West Park Street (Route 6) and Maple Avenue (Route 3032), including access management of driveways near the intersection. The existing intersection is currently a minor road stop-controlled intersection on a severe skew. The project involves realigning the minor approach to be more perpendicular as well as adding an exclusive left-turn lane on Route 6. The intersection will remain minor road stop control with a more defined separation from an adjacent commercial driveway. Additionally, the project will include the replacement of the guide rail, roadway, and signing and pavement markings that are impacted by construction.

A detour for Maple Avenue will be required during the final long-term stage of reconstruction. Route 3032 will be closed between the Wayne Health Services parking lot on the north side of Route 3032 and the intersection with Route 6. The 0.9-mile detour redirects traffic onto Route 3032 and Route 6 to avoid the closed area. Route 6 will be open to traffic during construction using staged construction methods.

It is anticipated that construction will begin late 2027 and will be complete by fall of 2028. The Maple Avenue detour will take place during the summer of 2028.

The virtual plans display will be available online from September 14, 2026, to October 14, 2026. Online information including proposed detour route, detailed project information, and comment form, can be found by visiting the following PennDOT District 4-0 website:
