Project Overview
County: Luzerne
Municipality: Conyngham Township
State Route: 239
Local Name: Miner Street
Project Type: Structure Replacemen
MPMS Number: 9178
Proposed Construction Start: Spring 2029
Proposed Construction End: Fall 2029
Last Updated: April 29, 2026
The structure is located on Route 239 (Miner Street) over Little Wapwallopen Creek, approximately 1.7 miles north of Wapwallopen and 3.0 miles south of Mocanaqua.
The purpose of this project is to address the structural deficiency of the existing structure due to its age and condition, and to provide safer and more efficient access over Little Wapwallopen Creek. The existing single span steel girder open grate bridge will be replaced with a single span PA bulb-tee beam bridge. Additional work includes but is not limited to: approach roadway reconstruction and widening, guide rail improvements, grading, signing, and pavement markings. The reconstructed roadway and structure will accommodate an 11-foot lane with a 4-foot outside shoulder in each direction of travel.
Traffic will be maintained during construction with a two-lane temporary runaround on the downstream side of the structure.
The project is currently in the preliminary design phase and is planned to commence in 2028. It is anticipated that construction will begin in Spring 2029 and will be completed by Fall 2029.
