Dunmore, PA - The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to a plans display regarding the Route 1023 Section 02M Bridge Replacement Project. This plans display will be held online.
The Route 1023 Section 02M project involves replacement of the crossing of Route 1023 (Lordsville Road) over Equinunk Creek in Buckingham and Manchester Townships, Wayne County, PA. The project proposes to replace the existing single span steel thru girder bridge with a new single span prestressed concrete bridge. Additional roadway improvements on the bridge approaches include full depth pavement reconstruction, new drainage, guide rail, signing, and pavement markings. Utility impacts are anticipated and will require temporary and/or permanent relocation of overhead lines. There will be temporary construction easements, required right-of-way, and a drainage easement necessary for this project. An underground spring-fed waterline with unknown owner in the southeastern portion of the project will be impacted with the proposed construction. No wetlands are present within the project limits.
The bridge replacement will be completed by maintaining a single lane of Route 1023 traffic over the bridge crossing using temporary signals. A detour is not proposed for any stage of construction. Short term single lane closures using flaggers are expected in intermediate stages of construction to install a new drainage system and complete paving operations.
The plans display will be held online and will be available from August 9, 2024 to September 6, 2024. Online information, including detailed project information and comment form can be found by visiting the following PennDOT District 4-0 website: Route 1023 Section 02M Bridge Replacement Project. The purpose of the plans display is to introduce the project, display and describe the planned traffic control, and receive public input regarding questions or concerns with the project.
