Preparation Work Begins on Overton Road Embankment Repair Project in Albany Township, Bradford County

​Montoursville, PA - Preparation work is set to begin for an embankment repair on Overton Road (Route 3002) in Albany Township, Bradford County.

On Thursday, October 3, 2024 through Friday, October 18, 2024, the contractor, LTT Trucking, LLC., will begin relocation and construction of a temporary driveway. Additional work includes clearing, grubbing, and tree removal throughout the project limits.

Overton Road remains closed in both directions between Hatch Hill Road (Route 3004) in Overton Township and Front Street (Route 220) in New Albany Borough. A detour using Hatch Hill Road and Route 220 has been in place since the closure in the fall 2018 due to flooding.

LTT Trucking, LLC., is the prime contractor for this $12.4 million embankment repair project. Work this year includes construction and relocation of a temporary driveway as well as clearing, grubbing, and tree removal throughout the project limits. Work to begin in 2025 includes the start of four retaining walls, replacement of the existing culvert carrying Overton Road over Ladds Creek, drainage improvements, base repairs, resurface, line paint, and guide rail upgrades. Work on this project is anticipated to be completed in 2027, weather pending.
