Milepost A128.58 Bridge Replacement - Overview

Project Overview

The Milepost A128.58 Bridge Replacement project will upgrade the bridge carrying Interstate 476 over Morgan Highway (SR 307) in South Abington Township, Lackawanna County. Originally built in 1956, the bridge has been maintained and updated over the years, but is now due for full replacement to meet modern safety and design standards.

Led by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, with support from engineering consultants, the project involves careful planning to minimize community and environmental impacts. Key improvements will include new bridge and road alignments, better sight distances, and enhanced safety features such as wider shoulders and improved barriers. Construction will be staged to maintain traffic flow and minimize disruptions, including detours for short periods when necessary.

The project team is committed to keeping residents informed and welcomes feedback from the public as work progresses. This essential infrastructure upgrade will help ensure safe travel and support the region’s growth for decades to come.
