Route 4036 Section 250 Bridge Replacement Project

County: Lackawanna​
Route:  4036
Project Type: Bridge Replacement Project
Expected Construction Season:  Fall 2024

This project consists on the replacement of the bridge on Route 4036 Section 250 that carries Route 4036 over Falls Creek in Newton Township, Lackawanna County. The previous structure consisted of a single span steel stringer bridge on full height abutments. The previous structure collapsed due to a flooding event on September 9, 2023. An emergency permit has been put in place, and now the existing structure consists of three (3) 60" HDPE pipes. 

The proposed new structure will address failure and improve hydraulics. Additionally, the project includes 230 feet of full depth roadway reconstruction, shoulder grading and guiderail installation.​
