Dunmore, PA - The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to a Public Meeting with Plans Display regarding the Route 4036, Section 250 Bridge Project.
The SR 4036 Section 250 project involves replacing the crossing of SR 4036 over Falls Creek in Newton Township, Lackawanna County. The project proposes to replace the three existing emergency pipes with a new composite prestressed concrete spread box beam bridge. The existing pipes replaced the previous steel stringer bridge that collapsed on the flooding event of September 2023.
The new bridge has been designed to improve the hydraulic performance of the original bridge and maintain the existing floodplains so as not to adversely affect adjacent property owners. Roadway improvements associated with the project include full-depth reconstruction in the vicinity of the bridge, new guide rail and pavement markings will be provided throughout the project limits. Only minor utility impacts are anticipated to construct the project.

The in-person public display meeting for the project will take place on:
Time: 5:30 PM
Date: Monday, May 13, 2024
Location: Newton Township Municipal Building (1528 Newton Ransom Blvd, Clarks Summit, PA, 18411)
