Project Overview
County: Lackawanna
Municipality: Madison Township
State Route: SR 2004
Local Name: White Oak Run
Project Type: Bridge Rehabilitation
Proposed Construction Start: November 2024
Proposed Construction End: Spring 2025
The purpose of the project is to rehabilitate the existing structure that carries two lanes of traffic on Route 2004 over White Oak Run in Madison Township, Lackawanna County. The existing structure consists of a non-composite bituminous pre-stressed adjacent plank beam superstructure supported by cast-in-place concrete and stacked stone masonry abutments.
The proposed alternative is a composite concrete pre-stressed adjacent plank beam superstructure supported by cast-in-place concrete abutments and wing walls. This alternative matches the existing stream width in the project area and provides the same hydraulic opening as the existing structure, sufficient to pass PennDOT and DEP design storms without increasing 100-year water surface elevations. A bridge roadway width of 27 feet 4 ¼ inches is proposed (two 12-foot lanes with roughly two-foot shoulders).
Additional Project Information
The roadway at the bridge site will be closed to all traffic and detoured during construction and is expected to be closed for approximately 4 months. Beginning east of the project area, the vehicle detour will follow SR 2004 (Reservoir Road), Route 2005 (Aberdeen Road), and Route 590 (Hamlin Road) resulting in an 8-mile vehicle detour. Beginning west of the project area, the vehicle detour will follow Route 2004 (Reservoir Road), Route 590 (Hamlin Road), Route 2005 (Aberdeen Road), and Route 2004 (Reservoir Road) resulting in an eight-mile vehicle detour.
The project is currently in design and is planned to be let in November 2024. Construction work is anticipated to take place in the Spring of 2025.
Detour Routes:
Beginning east of the project area:
- take a left onto Route 2004 (Reservoir Road);
- take a left onto Route 2005 (Aberdeen Road); and
- finally take a left onto Route 590 (Hamlin Road).
Beginning west of the project area:
- take a right onto Route 0590 (Hamlin Road);
- take a right onto SR 2005 (Aberdeen Road); and
- finally take a right Route 2004 (Reservoir Road).
