The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invited the public to a virtual plans display regarding Route 1029, Section PRS Green Grove Road over Hulls Creek Bridge project, Lackawanna County. The purpose of this project is to rehabilitate the stone masonry abutment and wingwalls for the Route 1029 (Green Grove Road) Bridge over Hull Creek. The plans will be developed to address the bulging in the stone masonry walls and to improve the conditions behind the walls to facilitate drainage. A geosynthetic stabilized bridge approach (GSBA) will be constructed behind the abutments and wingwalls. The project also includes scarification of the existing concrete bridge deck, full depth paving over the GSBA, and milling and overlay on sections of the approaches.
Additional Project Information
A detour for Route 1029 (Green Grove Road) will be required to perform the proposed work. Route 1029 traffic will use a 3.9-mile detour using state, including: Route 347 (Justus Boulevard), Route 1027 (Layton Road, and Route 632 (Commerce Drive). The detour is expected to last approximately four (4) months during construction.
