    Municipality: Roaring Brook Township
    State Route: 307
    Project Type: Bridge Replacement

    The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to a plans display regarding the Route 307, Section D53, bridge replacement project over Stafford Meadow Brook, Lackawanna County. This plans display will be held at 430 Blue Shutters Road, Roaring Brook Township on April 16th at 7PM.

    The purpose of the project is to provide a sustainable crossing over Stafford Meadow Creek by replacing the existing bridge to address the structural deficiencies and provide continued access to residents, businesses and emergency services.

    The project consists of replacing the existing stone masonry arch bridge by constructing a new composite reinforced concrete bridge with new barriers. The work will also include relocation of two private driveways. Additional proposed work will include approach pavement reconstruction along SR 307 and guide rail upgrades. The proposed approach roadway width will consist of 4 - 11’-0” travel lanes and 8’-0” shoulders.

    Traffic control during construction will consist of a one-time 7-day detour followed by staged construction maintaining a single lane of traffic in each direction.

    It is anticipated that construction will begin in Summer of 2026 and will be complete by the Fall of 2028.
