Muncy Borough Intersection Improvements and Bridge Replacement
This is a $2.7 million bridge replacement and intersection improvement project that includes three projects combined into one. In the spring of 2022, the contractor, Susquehanna Valley Construction Corporation, removed the 100-year-old bridge that carried Route 405 (Water Street) over Glade Run. The bridge will be replaced with a new bridge mimicking the original style of the existing bridge but will have a larger opening for stream flow and improved sidewalks.
This project also includes plans to improve the intersection of Water Street and Route 2014 (Main Street) by realigning the eastern leg of the intersection for better traffic flow. Additional work includes new drainage between the intersection and the new bridge, newly placed inlets to better capture stormwater, updated traffic signal, and new ADA curb ramps.
To complete the project, the area from the river bridge to the newly installed bridge over Glade Run will be milled and resurfaced.
In August of 2022, the new bridge was opened to traffic. Construction continued along Water Street with new drainage to the intersection of Main Street where the contractor realigned the eastern leg of the intersection.
To complete the project, new traffic signals will be installed, and the entire area will be milled and resurfaced from the newly installed bridge over glade run to the river bridge.
Work is expected to be completed in the fall of 2022, a year ahead of schedule.Cost: $2.7 million

More About the State Route 199-010 ProjectRoute 405 and Route 147
This is the fourth and final contract for the Central Susquehanna Valley Transportation (CSVT) Project’s Northern Section. This $52.3 million contract includes construction of the new Route 147 which will connect existing Route 147 south of Montandon in Northumberland County to Route 15 south of Winfield in Union County.
On July 6 a phased opening of the Northern Section began to open to traffic with all lanes being open by July 8. With the opening of the Northern Section to traffic, some existing roadways were impacted with a change in route designation. Route 147 now continues south from Montandon along the new CSVT highway and river bridge. The former Route 147 was designated Route 405.
In August and September, a section of Route 405 was reconstructed between Housels Run Road in West Chillisquaque Township and Route 1024 (Ridge Road) in Point Township, near the intersection with the former Route 147.
Cost: $2.1 million
