    The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to a Public Meeting with Plans Display regarding the Route 3020 Section D50 Culvert Replacement Project in South Canaan Township, Wayne County. The Route 3020 Section D50 project involves improvements to the crossing of Route 3020 (Lake Quinn Road) over an unnamed tributary to Lake Quinn in South Canaan Township, Wayne County. The project proposes to replace the existing concrete slab bridge with a new precast reinforced concrete box culvert.

    The existing bridge is experiencing deterioration on the deck and both abutments. The new culvert has been designed to improve the hydraulic performance of the original culvert and maintain the existing floodplains so as not to adversely affect adjacent property owners.  Roadway improvements associated with the project include full depth pavement reconstruction in the vicinity of the culvert, providing lane and shoulder widths meeting current design criteria.  New guide rail and pavement markings that will be provided throughout the project limits.  Aerial utility relocations will be required to accommodate the proposed construction. 

    Wetland restoration will be required to restore wetland areas temporarily disturbed during construction.  As part of the environmental restrictions, no tree cutting will be allowed from May 15 through August 15 to accommodate spring staging and fall swarming habitat of the northern long-eared bat.
