Project Overview
County: Lackawanna County
Municipality: City of Scranton
State Route: Route 6011
Project Type: Bridge Project
Proposed Construction Start: Spring 2027
Proposed Construction End: Fall 2027
The purpose of the project is to provide a sustainable crossing over Leach Creek that addresses structural and hydraulic deficiencies of the existing structure, and provides continued access to local residents, businesses, and emergency services.
The project consists of the replacement of the existing stone masonry arch widened by stone and masonry culvert and corrugated metal pipe with a precast box culvert. The permanent approach roadway work will include tie-ins with the existing roadway and the Yard Avenue intersection. Stream restoration work will be completed upstream and downstream of the proposed structure to address streambed stability and sediment transport issues. A reinforced concrete retaining wall will also extend upstream along the Leach Creek embankment. Additionally, guiderail upgrades, drainage improvements, and reconstruction of one driveway within the project limits will be incorporated into the project. Several utility pole relocations are expected to be necessary to construct the project.
Additional Project Information
A detour will be implemented during construction. The detour will utilize Brick Avenue, Oak Street and SR 6307 (Keyser Avenue). The detour is 0.6 miles in length and is expected to be in place for approximately four to six months. Local access to driveways will be maintained during construction.
Online information including proposed detour route, detailed project information, and comment form, can be found by visiting the following PennDOT District 4-0 website.
