Project Overview

County:Beaver
Municipality: Monaca Borough
State Route: Route 51 and Route 4044
Local Name: Pennsylvania Avenue and 17th Street
Project Type: Reconstruct
Construction Start: 2025
Construction End: 2027
Last Updated: 01/09/2025

The Monaca Gateway Project (Route 51 Section B52) project area includes the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue/17th Street (Route 4044 and Route 0051) and extends along Pennsylvania Avenue (Route 4044) to 15th Street to the west. The proposed improvements include replacing the existing stop-controlled intersection with a roundabout gateway design that will improve operations and geometry.

The roundabout will reduce the number of conflict points, thus reducing the opportunity for crashes. The project includes relocating conflicting utilities, new drainage facilities, ADA compliant sidewalks and crosswalks, and full-depth reconstruction of the existing intersection. Bicycle ramps will be considered to allow for cyclists to navigate the roundabout as a pedestrian.

Virtual Public Meeting

A Virtual Public Meeting was held October 20, 2021 to review preliminary design plans, discuss environmental features, learn about roundabouts, discuss community access and safety considerations, view the anticipated project schedule, and provide an opportunity to share interests and concerns. A recording of that meeting can be found below. Project plans, informational displays, and hard copy comment forms will also be available at the Monaca Borough building at 928 Pennsylvania Avenue, Monaca, Pennsylvania 15061.
