SR 2007 over railroad and local streets

This $275,000 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) supports a study phase to evaluate three design alternatives for the bridge removal project on SR 2007 (South Street) over railroad and local streets in Wilkes Barre City, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. The three alternatives being evaluated are: 1) bridge removal with no build, 2) bridge removal with construction of an at-grade roadway, and 3) bridge rehabilitation. The study will identify the positive and negative features of each alternative to the same degree. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is the state government awardee responsible for carrying out this transportation infrastructure project.
