PennDOT Announces Public Meeting and Online Plans Display for the Route 632, Section 250 Culvert Replacement Project in Waverly Township, Lackawanna County

Dunmore, PA- The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to a public meeting with plans display regarding the Route 632, Section 250 Culvert Replacement Project.

The Route 632 Section D250 project involves replacing the emergency pipes on Route 632 (Carbondale Road) over Ackerly Creek in Waverly Township, Lackawanna County. The existing pipes were installed as part of an emergency repair in 2023 after the previous slab bridge collapsed during high water. The proposed project consists of replacing the existing pipes with a new precast reinforced concrete box culvert. Work also includes approach roadway reconstruction and guide rail installation. The proposed traffic control during construction is a detour.

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, new guide rail, and pavement markings that will be provided throughout the project limits.

The in-person public display meeting for the project will take place on:

Time: 6:00 PM
