Muncy Borough Intersection Improvements & 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 June of 2022, the contractor continued work on the new bridge, setting beams and pouring the bridge deck, with completion expected by August of 2022. The new drainage installation and paving will be completed in late August and Route 405 is expected to be open to traffic in late August of 2022.
Work is expected to be completed on the entire project in 2023.
Cost: $2.7 million
