Route 632, Section 250 Culvert Replacement
Project Overview
The Route 632 Section D250 project involves replacing the emergency pipes on Route 632 (Carbondale Road) over Ackerly Creek in Waverly Township, Lackawanna County. The existing pipes were installed as part of an emergency repair in 2023 after the previous slab bridge collapsed during high water. The proposed project involves replacing the existing pipes with a new precast reinforced concrete box culvert. Work also includes approaching roadway reconstruction and guiding rail installation. The proposed traffic control during construction is a detour.
The new culvert has been designed to improve the hydraulic performance of the original culvert and maintain the existing floodplains so as not to adversely affect adjacent property owners.Roadway improvements associated with the project include full-depth pavement reconstruction in the vicinity of the culvert, new guide rail, and pavement markings that will be provided throughout the project limits.
The purpose of the plans display is to introduce the project, display and describe the planned traffic control, and receive public input regarding questions or concerns with the project. The public is encouraged to respond to the public questionnaire and provide comments by clicking on the Public Questionnaire.
