Long Term Projects

 

State Route Exit/Mile Marker County(ies) Township Closure/Restriction Work Dates Time
N/A   Lackawanna Clifton Township Closed A Lackawanna County-owned bridge is closed indefinitely on Keystone Rd. in Clifton Township off State Route 435. The road has no outlet. Indefinitely  
SR 307   Lackawanna Roaring Brook Township Lane Restriction This project involves the full replacement of a culvert that crosses under a four-lane road, State Route 307 (Scranton Pocono Highway) over Green Run in Roaring Brook Township, Lackawanna County. Nov. 2022  
SR 6 Casey Highway   Lackawanna   Lane Restriction The concrete pavement and bridge preservation project on Route 6 (Casey Highway) is ongoing. This project addresses the aging concrete roadway pavement by replacing damaged and broken slabs where necessary, while retrofitting existing slabs to give them stability and cleaning and sealing all pavement joints. Preservation work is performed on the highway to preserve the existing concrete pavement.  This type of project is a cost-effective means of extending the service life of a concrete roadway.  Pavements left to deteriorate without timely preservation treatments are more likely to require costly and disruptive major rehabilitation or reconstruction projects.
After all the concrete repairs are complete, a procedure called diamond grinding will be performed by the contractor. Diamond grinding will correct surface imperfections and improve ride quality on the Casey Highway. The project began in April of 2022 and be completed in 2024.  A similar project was just completed 2-years ago at the I-81 and I-84 Interchange in Dunmore.
