PennDOT awarded a $2,640,640 contract to Eastern Industries, Inc. from Winfield, Union County, for the resurfacing of more than eight miles of State Route 4012 (Sunbury Street, Snydertown Road) from approximately one-half mile west of Snydertown, east to the intersection with Route 487 near Paxinos. Work includes milling of the existing pavement, two new layers of blacktop, paved shoulders, joint repairs, drainage improvements, guide rail upgrade, rumble strip installation and related work. Construction is expected to start in the spring and will be completed by the end of August.
The remaining economic stimulus projects in north central Pennsylvania will start at various times over the next nine months.
Within the nine-county north central region, PennDOT will invest $45 million of federal economic recovery funds on transportation projects that range from resurfacings and bridge replacements to guide rail and traffic sign upgrades.
