    Pike County invites the public to a Public Meeting with Plans Display regarding the T-440 Section BRG Structure Replacement Project in Shohola Township, Pike County. The T-440 Section BRG project involves the replacement of the structure that carries T-440 (Shohola Falls Road) over Balliard Creek in Shohola Township, Pike County.  The project purpose is to replace the existing reinforced concrete closed spandrel arch culvert. The existing structure is experiencing major deterioration on the arch barrel. Roadway improvements associated with the project include pavement reconstruction in the vicinity of the bridge, providing lane and shoulder widths meeting current design criteria.  New guide rail and signs will be provided where appropriate. 

    As part of the environmental restrictions, no in-stream work will be allowed from October 1 through December 31 to accommodate the natural reproduction of trout.
