    ​​Route 492 (Jackson Street) Culvert Replacement Project​

    Project Overview

    County: Susquehanna County
    Municipality: Jackson Township
    Route: Route​​ 492 (Jackson Street)
    Project Type: Culvert Replacement
    Proposed Start: Summer 2026
    Proposed End: Fall 2026

    The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to the Jackson Township Supervisors meeting where plans will be presented regarding the Route 492 (Jackson Street), Section D50 Culvert Replacement Project over Little Bulter Creek. 

    The purpose of this project is to address the structural deficiency of the existing structure due to its age and condition and to provide continued safe and efficient access over Little Butler Creek.

    The project consists of the replacement of the existing single-span concrete slab bridge supported on concrete abutments with a precast box culvert. The permanent approach roadway work will include tie-ins with the existing. Stream restoration work will be completed upstream and downstream of the proposed structure to address streambed stability and sediment transport issues. Additionally, guide rail upgrades and drainage improvements within the project limits will be incorporated into the project. One overhead utility line temporary relocation is expected to be necessary to construct the project.

    A detour will be implemented during construction. The detour will utilize Route 547, Route 848 (Harford Road) and Interstate I-81. The detour is 15.3 miles in length and is expected to be in place for approximately two to four months. Local access to driveways will be maintained during construction.

    It is anticipated that construction will begin in the summer of 2026 and will be complete by the fall of 2026.

    The virtual plans display will be held online and will be available from May 10, 2024 to July 1, 2024. ​

    The purpose of the plans display is to introduce the project, display and describe the planned detour, and receive public input regarding questions or concerns with the project. The public is encouraged to respond using the public questionnaire and provide comments by clicking on the Public Questionnaire​ and mail or email to the address at the bottom of the form.
