The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is presently developing plans for a project to replace the Route 36 (Mill Run Bridge) and resurface Route 36 in the City of Altoona and Logan Township, Blair County.
The project will include replacement of the existing bridge structure with a new box culvert, modification of the Route 36 (Union Avenue) intersections at Crescent Road and 31st Street, and reconstruction of Route 36 (Union Avenue) approximately 500-feet to the south and 250-feet to the north from the bridge. A detour will be in place for this part of the project, with local access for residents.
Additional work in this project will be the resurfacing of Route 36 from Plank Road to Route 4005 (Mill Run Road), guide rail upgrades and other safety improvements. This will be completed under daylight flagging operations. Also included in the scope of work will be the replacement of two pipe culverts near the Washington Avenue intersection of Route 36 in Logan Township. These replacements will be completed under a short-term detour.
The purpose of this meeting is to provide the public an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed project. Representatives from PennDOT will be available to answer questions and receive comments regarding the project. The comments of all individuals, groups or organizations are welcome. Anyone with knowledge of historic resources in the project area should attend the meeting.
The meeting will be held Tuesday, May 23, 2023, from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM at the Altoona Bible Church, 3017 Union Avenue, Altoona, PA 16602.
The meeting location is accessible to persons with disabilities. Any person requiring special aid or additional information regarding the meeting may contact the project manager, Nathan Milazzo, P.E., at (814) 696-7159 or namilazzo@pa.gov.
