Dunmore, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to a plans display regarding the SR 4006, Section 771, Bridge Replacement Project over Little Tuscarora Creek. This plans display will be held online, and plans will be displayed for public viewing at the Good Will Fire Co. Fire Hall.
The purpose of the project is to provide a sustainable crossing over Little Tuscarora Creek that provides a bridge, addresses the structural deficiencies, and provides continued access to local residents, businesses, and emergency services.
The project includes the replacement of the existing concrete arch culvert with a precast reinforced concrete box culvert with minimal approach roadway reconstruction, guide rail replacement, widened shoulders, and sidewalk to accommodate pedestrians. The new culvert will provide two twelve-foot lanes with a 4-foot right shoulder and a 5-foot left shoulder for a roadway width of thirty-three feet.
The roadway at the bridge site will be closed to all traffic and detoured during construction. Two separate detour routes are proposed: one for vehicles and one for pedestrians. Beginning south of the project area, the vehicle detour would follow SR 3001 (Church Street), Second Street, and SR Main Street resulting in a .5-mile vehicle detour. The pedestrian detour will follow SR 4006 (Lacey Street), Franklin Street, and SR 3001 (Church Street) resulting in a .5-mile pedestrian detour. A pedestrian bridge will be constructed over Little Tuscarora Creek on Franklin Street.
The project is currently in design and is planned to be let in January 2025. Construction work is anticipated to take place during the 2025 construction season.
The plans display will be held in-person and online. The in-person plans display will be held at the Good Will Fire Co. Fire Hall, located at 433 Main Street, Laceyville, PA 18623 on March 1, 2023, at 7:00 p.m. The digital version of the plans display will be available from March 2, 2023, to March 31, 2023.
