    The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to an online plan display regarding the SR 1015 (Juniata Parkway East) structure rehabilitation project.  This project is located over Howe Run in Howe Township, Perry County.   

    The purpose of this project is to rehabilitate the existing concrete arch culvert and provide continued safe and efficient crossing of SR 1015, Section 023 over Howe Run.

    The project consists of repairing deteriorated sections of the structure, lining the bottom of the stream channel with a concrete apron, and adding waterproofing to the top of the culvert. Roadway work will include limited paving over the top of the culvert and guide rail replacement.  

    The road will be closed for approximately three months to all traffic during the construction. The proposed detour route will use SR 1020/T-533 (Meadow Grove Road), SR 1019 (Chicken Hollow Road), SR 1018 (Bucks Valley Road), and SR 1017 (Shortcut Road).

    The project is currently in design and construction work is anticipated to take place in the 2027 construction season.
