Virtual plans are now on display for the public to provide feedback on improvement options for Route 6/Route 19 (French Creek Parkway) and the Spring Street Bridge in the City of Meadville and West Mead Township, Crawford County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced this week.
FRENCH CREEK PARKWAY
The French Creek Parkway project covers a 2.5 mile section of Route 6 from the intersection with Reynolds Ave. in Meadville to the intersection with Baldwin Street Extension in West Mead Township.
The purpose of the project is to maintain traffic efficiency and community transportation needs while improving the geometry of the roadway, according to PennDOT. Construction is expected to take place during the 2022 construction season.
SPRING STREET BRIDGE
PennDOT is seeking options for the possible restoration or replacement of the bridge that carries Spring Street over Route 6/Route 19 in the City of Meadville.
Two alternatives will be presented, including restoration of the existing structure and a new structure on a shifted alignment just east of Lincoln St. to Bessemer St.
Work is expected to take place during the 2024 construction season, according to PennDOT.
A virtual meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 2 to present options on both projects. Attendees will have a chance to see roadway and bridge alternatives and give feedback.
The meeting is set for 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 2.
For more information on the project, or to register for the virtual meeting, visit the project website.
Following the meeting, an online comment form will be posted through June 16.
