PennDOT - District 3 News: New Data Indicates CSVT Northern Section is Improving Traffic in Northcentral PA
:cheers:

It's almost hard to believe that there are still 800 trucks per day using old PA 147 through Northumberland, although I suppose a lot of those are traveling to/from Sunbury, so that number will likely go down even further once the southern section (PA 61 connector) is open.

Sunbury in general is an underrated factor in the CSVT project, with a population of 10k that is almost exclusively forced through Northumberland or Shamokin Dam to drive anywhere of significance.

Finally, work is beginning on the CSVT bridge over Grangers Rd, the first of nine bridges as part of the second CSVT contract which will also include four noise barriers: https://www.csvt.com/resources/pdfs/construction-updates/CSVT_press_release_02_02_24.pdf

The nine bridges are as follows:

CSVT over Mill Rd
CSVT over Attig Rd
CSVT over Park/Fisher Rd
CSVT over Stetler Ave
CSVT over 11th Ave
CSVT over PA 61 Connector
Cortland Ave over PA 61 Connector
PA 61 Connector over ramps to US 11/Future Bus 15
CSVT over Grangers Rd

The Sunbury Rd bridge over CSVT was the only bridge in the first contract, and it was completed and reopened to traffic last fall.

CSVT earthwork is progressing nicely, via another video update from Brian's Susquehanna Thruway Project here.

I snipped some photos for those that may not want to watch the full 15 minute video. All photos credit to Brian Benfer, owner of Brian's Susquehanna Thruway Project.

PennDOT - District 3 News: CSVT Project to Close Attig Road in Monroe Township, Snyder County

QuoteMontoursville, PA – Construction continues on the Southern Section of the Central Susquehanna Valley Transportation (CSVT) project in Snyder County.

On Friday, April 26, 2024, the portion of Route 1014 (Mill Road) that connects the two roundabouts will be opened to traffic.

On Monday, April 29, 2024, Attig Road (T-451) will be closed between Penns Drive (T-504) and Route 1015 (App Road), while the contractor begins to excavate, install new drainage, and pave the roadway.

A detour using App Road and Mill Road will be in place for approximately five weeks.

For more information on the CSVT project, please visit www.csvt.com

The southern end of Fisher Rd, which was cut off by the CSVT project, has quietly been renamed Harlan Dr. This is great to see as it means Fisher Rd is no longer discontinuous. It will still terminate at Park Rd, but the new terminus will be about 1/3 mile north of the previous one, just north of the future CSVT crossing.

Residents of the new Harlan Dr will trade (gladly, I'm sure) less convenient access to points north for living on a quiet dead-end street with no thru traffic.

Local news update about the bridge over Grangers Road as part of the Southern Section construction:
https://www.northcentralpa.com/news/roads/beam-setting-to-begin-for-southern-section-csvt/article_e271e1a2-3b9b-11ef-b3ea-5bdffc9c4032.html

A good picture of the bridge is in the article, as well as some general updates/data about the project.

This is great to hear. The article suggests that earthwork is about 90% complete. It's also evident from Brian's CSVT video updates that a ton of progress has been made on the earthwork in the last few months. The entire path of the new highway has now come into focus, most of the bridge abutment locations are visible, and the paths for remaining ramps at the Winfield and PA 61 interchanges are now clear.

Quote from: webny99 on April 09, 2022, 07:36:10 PMThe more I think about it, the more I think that the improved Selinsgrove interchange at the southern end of the CSVT project (where US 15 currently exits onto Susquehanna Trail) is an underrated part of the CSVT project. The NB US 15 to SB US 522 and NB US 522 to SB US 15 movements that are currently missing are HUGE for traffic connecting to/from PA 204, Kratzerville, and points north/northwest. Right now they have to either exit at Selinsgrove and deal with city streets, or exit to Susq. Trail NB and use Roosevelt Ave/Mill Rd. to get to PA 204. The improved US 522 interchange and new Mill Rd/Airport Rd roundabout will make that movement a lot better and instantly become the fastest route to/from US 15, so I wouldn't be surprised if traffic on Airport Rd increases significantly, and that shift should have a positive impact on traffic in Selinsgrove.


Another thought in the same vein to add to this very old post... When CSVT is finally finished County Line Rd in Winfield will reopen after being closed for roughly 10 years. That will provide a new direct route between PA 304/New Berlin and the CSVT freeway, allowing them to use the northern section to bypass Winfield and Lewisburg. Add that to the lengthy list of regional connectivity improvements that CSVT will bring (in addition to the obvious improvements for truck and thru traffic on the US 15/PA 147).

  • US 522 corridor to points north and east - can bypass Shamokin Dam
  • US 522 corridor to points south - can bypass Selinsgrove
  • PA 204 corridor to points south - can bypass Selinsgrove
  • PA 147 corridor to points north - can bypass Sunbury + Northumberland
  • PA 61 corridor to points north - can bypass Northumberland
  • PA 61 corridor to points south and west - can bypass Shamokin Dam
  • US 11 corridor to points south and west - can bypass Shamokin Dam (via PA 61 connector) + Northumberland (via Ridge Rd)
  • PA 304 corridor to points north - can bypass Winfield + Lewisburg



Quote from: webny99 on April 09, 2022, 07:36:10 PMAlso, a random thought... could this be the future entrance to Colonial Dr when it's realigned as part of CSVT?

This did turn out to be pretty close: 2012 vs. 2023.

Has anyone seen or heard of any signage plans yet for the CSVT southern section?
