Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to an online plan display regarding the Route 3016 / T-318 (Pisgah State Road) structure replacement project over an unnamed tributary to Shermans Creek, Carroll Township, Perry County. The purpose of this project is to address the structural deficiency of the current bridge and improve safety along the segment of T-318 Pisgah State Road. The existing bridge was constructed in 1918 and has exceeded its design life and is currently load posted.
The existing structure is located approximately 0.75 miles southwest of Shermans Dale on a flat rural road surrounded by rolling hills comprised mostly of agricultural and wooded land. The township road, Pisgah State Road, is locally owned while the Route 3016 bridge is state-owned. The bridge width will be widened from 19 feet, 6 inches curb-to-curb to 24 feet, 8 inches curb-to-curb with two 10-foot lanes and two 2-foot shoulders.
This section of Pisgah State Road has an average daily traffic volume of 716 vehicles per day.
The 2.9-mile detour will use local roads T-306 (Youngs Church Road) and T-414 (Old State Road).
The project is currently in design and construction work is expected to take place in the 2027 construction season. The detour will remain in place for approximately 30 days.
The estimated construction cost is $1,077,000.
The purpose of the plans display is to introduce the project and solicit public input, questions, or concerns regarding the project.
The digital version of the information will be available to view online from January 15, 2025, to February 15, 2025.
Information, including bridge plans and an interactive comment form, can be found by visiting the PennDOT District 8 website, PennDOT District 8, clicking Projects Near You listed on the left side of the page, then the District 8 Projects, and choosing Pisgah State Road Bridge Replacement.
The purpose of the plans display is to introduce the project and receive public input regarding any questions or concerns with the project.
