Hanover industrial estates multimodal improvements

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation $260,000 on June 10, 2025, under the Appalachian Development Highway System program (CFDA 23.003) to execute shoulder widening improvements on Stewart Road in the Hanover Industrial Estates, Hanover Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. The project scope encompasses multimodal transportation infrastructure improvements designed to enhance regional connectivity and facilitate commerce within the designated corridor, with work extending from New Commerce Boulevard to New Commerce Boulevard along Stewart Road.

This infrastructure investment aligns with the Appalachian Development Highway System's core objective to support economic development in areas with developmental potential by improving highway accessibility and transportation capacity. The shoulder widening work will enhance safety and operational efficiency for the industrial estates facility, contributing to the broader regional transportation network improvements funded through the FHWA's project grant mechanism.
