Project Overview

County: Carbon
Municipality: Weatherly Borough
State Route: 4010
Local Name: Hudsondale Street
Project Type: Retaining Wall Replacement
MPMS Number: 121123
Proposed Construction Start: Early 2026
Proposed Construction End: Late 2026
Last Updated: September 2025

The purpose of the project is to maintain safe travel on Hudsondale Street along Black Creek that meets current design criteria. The project is needed due to the existing retaining wall being in poor condition. The existing structure along Black Creek consists of concrete gravity walls. 

The scope of work will include replacing approximately half the length of the existing wall due to instability, and the replacement walls (Walls 1 and 2) will be located on approximately the same horizontal alignment as the existing walls. 

The rehabilitated section of the retaining wall (Wall 3) will include concrete spall repairs, concrete aprons, and reconstructed top sections of the wall. Additionally, a cast-in-place moment slab will be placed at the south end of Wall 2 to transition from the existing adjacent wall barrier to new guide rail that will be installed along the curb line of Hudsondale Street. 

Other improvements will include full depth roadway reconstruction behind the wall replacements, mill and overlay of the roadway behind the wall section being rehabilitated and at the approaches, new concrete curb, and drainage improvements. Rock scour protection will be installed on top of the footings and within the stream channel adjacent to the wall sections that are to be replaced.
