    Route 1036 Pipe Replacement

    Route 1036 Pipe

    Project Status

    Step 2 of 4

    Design

    Next Step:  Construction

    Project Overview

    County: Luzerne
    Municipality: Kingston Township
    State Route: Route 1036
    Project Type: Pipe Replacement
    Proposed Construction Start: Spring 2026
    Proposed Construction End: Summer 2026
    Last Updated: January 2025

    The purpose of the project is to replace the existing 42” Corrugated Metal pipe that carries an unnamed tributary to Francis Slocum Lake and crosses under both lanes of Route 1036 in Kingston Township, Luzerne County. This project will also include replacements of six corrugated metal pipes ranging from 24” to 18” in diameter along Route 1036. Three of the aforementioned pipes cross under both lanes of Route 1036 and will need to be detoured. The other three follow along Route 1036 or are off on the shoulder and will not require a detour. This project also will include roadway approach work along Route 1036 to allow for smooth transitions and construction while a detour is in place.

    Detour Routes

    The roadway at the project sites will be closed to all traffic and detoured during construction and is expected to be closed for approximately six weeks.

    Beginning east of the project area, the vehicle detour will follow Route 1021, Route 1044, and Route 1029 resulting in a 5.8 mile vehicle detour. 

    Beginning west of the project area, the vehicle detour will follow Route 1029, Route 1044, and Route 1021 resulting in a 5.8 mile vehicle detour.
