District 9:  SR 2019 over US 22

(For US 6/US 209)  PennDOT - District 4 News: PennDOT Announces Online Plans Display for the SR 6, Section 451 over Delaware River Bridge Rehabilitation Project in Matamoras Borough, Pike County, PA & City of Port Jervis, Orange County, NY

Dunmore, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to a plans display regarding the SR 6, Section 451, over Delaware River Bridge Rehabilitation Project. This plans display will be held online.

The purpose of the project is to provide a sustainable crossing over the Delaware River that provides a two-lane bridge, addresses structural deficiencies, and provides continued access to local residents, businesses, and emergency services.

The SR 6 Section 451 project involves improvements to the crossing of SR 6 over the Delaware River in Matamoras Borough, Pike County, PA and the City of Port Jervis, Orange County, NY. The project proposes to replace the deck and sidewalks of the existing bridge with a new concrete deck and sidewalks. Additional structure work being proposed includes structural steel repairs, complete painting of the bridge, installation of new expansion joints, and repair to deteriorated portions of the substructures. Roadway improvements associated with the project include full-depth reconstruction only in the vicinity of the bridge, providing lane and shoulder widths meeting current design criteria. Additionally, new pavement markings will be provided throughout the project limits. Utility conflicts are not anticipated for this project. New drainage features will be added to the bridge deck and off-structure roadway drainage updated as necessary.
The existing bridge is not historic and does not contribute to any adjacent historic districts. No significant historical or cultural resources are present within the project site. There are no wetlands present within the project limits and no other environmentally sensitive resources will be affected by the project.

The bridge rehabilitation is expected to be constructed in three stages while maintaining both lanes of traffic at all times. Access to adjacent driveways and intersections will be maintained throughout the duration of the project, however, some turning movements associated with Delaware Drive will be restricted during certain stages of the project. Construction is expected to begin during the summer of 2024 and extend through 2025.
The plans display will be held online and will be available from January 6, 2023 to February 3, 2023. Online information, including detailed project information and comment form can be found by visiting the following PennDOT District 4-0 website: SR 6 Section 451 Bridge Project (pa.gov).
The purpose of the plans display is to introduce the project, display and describe the planned traffic control, and receive public input regarding questions or concerns with the project.
The project documents can be made available in alternative languages or formats if requested. If you need translation/interpretation services or have special needs or have special concerns that require individual attention, contact Summer Koziel, PennDOT Project Manager, at 570-963-4048 or skoziel@pa.gov.

(For PA 75)  PennDOT - District 2 News: PennDOT Delays Closure of Port Royal Bridge Until Thursday

As the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and the Norfolk Southern Railroad continue coordination for repair work on a Route 75 bridge in Port Royal, a second delay for closing the bridge has become necessary. No new date has been set for the closure. PennDOT will issue an update on this project before the bridge is closed and the detour goes into effect.
Once closed, PennDOT anticipates the bridge remaining closed through June 30 while the contractor demolishes and replaces portions of the superstructure, which spans the Norfolk Southern Railroad in Port Royal.

Preliminary work started last September with the demolition of a two-story building on Second Street in Port Royal. Overall work on the project involves partial removal of the existing structure and construction of its replacement, approach paving, drainage improvements, water and sewer line replacements, sidewalk and guide rail replacement, pavement marking and miscellaneous construction. HRI, Inc. of State College is the contractor on this $4 million project.

Motorists are encouraged to "Know Before They Go" by checking conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.

(For PA 82 ALT TRUCK) PennDOT - District 6 News: Bridge Repair to Begin on Gum Tree Road in Highland Township

King of Prussia, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that construction will begin on the Gum Tree Road bridge over branch of Doe Run in Highland Township, Chester County under a project to repair 17 bridges in Bucks, Chester, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties that sustained serious damage from the remnants of Hurricane Ida in September 2021.

Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:

Friday, January 20, through early February, a 24/7 road closure is scheduled on Gum Tree Road between Friends Meeting House Road and Gibble Road. During the closure, motorists are directed to use Route 10 (Limestone Road/Church Street), Route 372 (First Avenue/Valley Road/Strasburg Road), and southbound Route 82 (Doe Run Road).
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because backups and delays will occur. Local access will be maintained up to the construction zone. The schedule is weather dependent.

Loftus Construction, Inc. of Cinnaminson, NJ, is the general contractor on this $3.2 million bridge repair project, which is financed with 80% federal and 20% state funds.

PennDOT's contractor will address undermining or scour by repairing and reinforcing the support systems and foundations of the 17 damaged structures to maintain them as safe and efficient crossings for the traveling public.

I wish PA would number major non-interstate freeways with exit numbers.  Ohio does it.

A handful around the state exist. For example, SR 28 is numbered from Pittsburgh to Kittanning.

I'd like to see PA 28 and US 6 northeast of Scranton switch to mileage based numbers, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

[tylert120]

Me too. I was hoping with all the various construction projects on SR 28 (from Highland Park bridge all the way to Creighton) this year, they might consider that change since all the signage in that large stretch was going to be replaced anyway.

Re: numbered exits in PA, the road I specifically had in mind is US 15.  It now has exit numbers north of Williamsport, presumably because of the Future I-99.  But I would love them south of Harrisburg/Camp Hill as well.

I wish PA 33, US 22's expressways WV-Pittsburgh, Ebensburg-Duncansville, Lewistown-Harrisburg, and Allentown-Easton, all of US 15, US 219 south of Ebensburg, US 30's expressways York-Lancaster and Coatesville-Exton, and expressway portions of US 202, PA 283, US 6, US 119, US 222, US 322, and US 422 had numbered exits.

It's so much easier to tell someone "hey go to Exit 8"  instead of "take the PA 97 Baltimore Street exit"

PA 581 has exit numbers, and they're technically sequential but so close to mileage based anyway, as it's 6 exits over 7-8 miles.  So I sort of forgot some of the other state highways that have exits are sequential.

Anyway, on this subject, what's the deal with Western PA doing the "Exit A"  and "Exit B"  with no number like on the Indiana Bypass?
