Site work and paving for a civil project in Hazle Township, Pennsylvania. Completed plans call for site work for a road / highway; for paving for a road / highway; bridge / tunnel; and bridge / tunnel.

The SR 0424, Section 390 project involves an extension of SR 0424, commonly referred to as the Hazleton Beltway, from the I-81/Exit 141 Interchange to Humboldt Industrial Park (HIP) in Hazle Township, Luzerne County. The approximately 1.1-mile long extension will involve the construction of a four-lane roadway from the current termination of the beltway just west of I-81 to Commerce Drive. The roadway will require an at-grade railroad crossing and provide access to the White Birch Road extension directly south of the railroad. Traffic will proceed onto Commerce Drive, Forest Road, and this newly-constructed White Birch Road, a two-lane road to Maplewood Drive, which connects to SR 0924. Turning lanes will be added to the intersections of SR 0424 and I-81 northbound ramps, SR 0424 and I-81 southbound ramps, SR 0424 and Commerce Drive, and Commerce Drive and Forest Road. This extension will ultimately connect the Hazleton Beltway to SR 0924 west of I-81, utilizing HIPs existing roadway network. There are two existing bridges over I-81 within the project limits, SR 0424 at Interchange 141. The existing bridges are 60 wide and striped for three (3) lanes. To facilitate five (5) lanes, the existing bridge cross slopes will be modified to move the profile grade point and the lanes restriped. This will be done with a latex modified concrete overlay (LMCO) of the existing bridge decks. The proposed typical section will result in five (5) 11-0 lanes with two (2) 2-6 shoulders. Modifications to the bridge approach slab will also be necessary. The existing approach slab width is designed to match the current travel lane width on the bridges. With the addition of lanes, the proposed roadway will require wider approach slabs. Approach shoulders will also be modified to concrete and flared to match the radius of the intersection. Three bioretention basins will be used to control stormwater volume throughout the project. The overall project length of 1.771 miles (9,350 linear feet) plus Ramps and Township Roads as indicated on the approved drawings included in the bid package.
