SR 435 over lackawanna county railroad authority

This $8,430,714.72 Formula Grant awarded by the Federal Highway Administration (CFDA 20.205 - Highway Planning and Construction) supports the replacement of four highway bridge structures along State Route 435 in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. The project includes replacing a reinforced concrete T-beam bridge with a two-span composite steel plate girder bridge, a reinforced concrete arch culvert with a single-span composite prestressed concrete bulb T-beam bridge, and upgrading existing culverts. Additional work involves full-depth pavement replacement, milling and resurfacing, drainage, guide rail, and other miscellaneous construction. The project also requires maintaining traffic through staged construction with a temporary roadway, bridge, and railroad track relocation. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is the grant recipient responsible for executing this infrastructure improvement initiative.
