Waynesburg Betterment Location Map

Project Overview

Located in the Borough of Waynesburg and Franklin Township – This $11.8 million project is needed to ensure a safe and efficient route for all modes of transportation through the downtown Waynesburg business district. The only East-West traffic routes in the county (Route 21 and Route 19) run through the business district. There are no reasonable alternatives for traffic to move through the county, which causes high traffic volumes and a high percentage of heavy vehicles.

Work will include milling and resurfacing of Route 19 and Route 21, curve flattening to accommodate truck turning, base repair, signal upgrades, signal replacements, sidewalk replacements, upgrading ADA ramps, drainage improvements, as well as upgrading signage, delineation, and pavement markings. The contractor is Gullies Construction, LLC, and the project is anticipated to be complete in October 2024.
