SR
1007/650 Over Branch Boyds Creek
Project Overview
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to an in-person and virtual plans display regarding the SR 1007 (Butternut Flats), Section 650 Structure Replacement over UNT South Calkins Creek Project in Damascus Township, Wayne County.
The SR 1007-650 project consists of replacing the existing single-span reinforced concrete T-Beam bridge with a precast reinforced concrete box culvert.
The reconstructed SR 1007 (Butternut Flats) roadway and structure will consist of two (2) 10'-0" travel lanes with two (2) 4'-0" wide shoulders for a roadway width of 28'-0".
Additional work includes but is not limited to approach roadway reconstruction, guide rail updates, signing, pavement markings, and driveway adjustments. Utility pole relocations are also anticipated to construct the project. Local access to driveways will be maintained during construction.
The project is currently in the preliminary design phase. Construction is anticipated to begin in the Spring of 2025 and be complete by the Fall of 2025.
