    Project Overview

    County: Erie
    Municipality: Summit
    State Route: Route 19
    Local Name: Peach Street
    Project Type: Safety Improvement
    MPMS Number: 98308
    Proposed Construction: 2027
    Last Updated: 10/07/2025

    This is a prposed project to improve more than 1 mile of Route 19 corridor in Summit Township, Erie County.

    The project area includes Route 19 (Peach Street) from the intersection with Dorn Road and the intersection with Oliver Road (Route 4008).

    The purpose of the project is to reduce traffic congestion and improve safety.

    Proposed work includes widening and safety improvements to Route 19 from the intersection with Robison Road (Route 4024) to the intersection with Dorn Road. Currently there are two travel lanes in that area of roadway. The project will add an additional center turn lane on Route 19 to match the lane configuration south of Dorn Road, which was constructed in 2015.

    Improvements at the intersection of Route 19 and Robison Road will include creating a right turn lane for eastbound traffic on Robison Road wanting to turn onto Route 19. Additionally milling and paving is proposed for Route 19 from Robison Road to Oliver Road and the existing culvert near the 8270 Peach Plaza will be replaced. 

    Work is expected to occur from spring 2027 to spring 2028.

    Traffic Impacts

    No detours are anticipated during the work and one lane in each direction will be maintained throughout the project. Short-term driveway closures are anticipated for some businesses. Access to effected businesses will be maintained through alternative and temporary driveways.
