Dunmore, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to plans display regarding Route 2036, Section 570, bridge replacement of Rock Hill Creek, in Susquehanna County. The project will be presented at the regular scheduled Board of Supervisors Meeting on January 6, 2025, at the Gibson Township Municipal Building at 11452 State Route 92 South Gibson, PA 18842.
The project consists of replacing the existing 78” pipe carrying Rock Creek in Gibson Township with a two-lane, precast reinforced concrete box culvert along with a retaining wall. The project also includes minor approach roadway work, including driveway and intersection grading and guide rail updates. The proposed typical roadway section on Route 2036 will consist of two 9’ lanes and 2’ shoulders in each direction.
Traffic will be detoured throughout construction by utilizing a signed detour. The 5-mile detour will utilize Route 2046 (Fiddle Lake Road) and Route 2077 (Ridge Road).
Construction work is anticipated to take place in the summer of 2026.
The purpose of the public meeting and virtual plans display is to introduce the project and the associated maintenance and protection of traffic during construction to receive public questions, comments, or other input regarding the project.
Online information including proposed detour route, detailed project information, and comment form, can be found by visiting the following PennDOT Engineering District 4 website: Route 2036 Over Rock Hill Creek Bridge Project | Department of Transportation | Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
