Route 924 project moves downtown
KAYLEE LINDENMUTH / SHENANDOAH SENTINEL - An excavator rips up the old roadway surface at Main and Oak Streets in Shenandoah.
SHENANDOAH – The project to reconstruct Route 924 has moved into the downtown section of town.
Lane restrictions are in place this weekend from Turkey Hill to Centre Streets as crews work on the Oak Street intersection.
The $5.5 Million project is intended to reconstruct Route 924 from the Pattersonvillle/Brandonville Wye, north of the Tastee Freeze, to Harpers in Frackville, including the entirety of Main Street in Shenandoah and the Gold Star Highway in Shenandoah, Gilberton, Mahanoy Township, and West Mahanoy Township.
The stretch from Washington Street in town to the wye has already been completed.
Crews have replaced the ADA ramps at each intersection in town and have done preparation work for the new traffic signals, as they await deliver of the signals themselves.
Each intersection will be reconstructed over the course of a weekend through the next month.
