Riverview Park walkway project: temporary one-lane traffic on north end of Veterans Bridge

LOCKPORT, PA – A crew from the contractor carrying out the Riverview Park Walkway project is installing a new pedestrian ramp at the north end of Veterans Bridge. As a result, flaggers are controlling one-lane traffic around the work area until the work is completed this week.

This is in addition to the continuing one-lane traffic on the east end of the Farrandsville Road, paralleling the walkway construction site.

Meanwhile the walkway project continues. Work this year has included building a temporary causeway on the Susquehanna riverbank to serve as a work platform to build the 800-foot retaining wall. The contractor has placed navigational aids in the river to denote a safe distance from construction activities to boaters.

Overall work on the project includes roadway realignment, utility relocations, drainage improvements, piping and inlets, construction of a retaining wall, sidewalks, curbing, ornamental light poles, guide rail, paving, pavement markings, and miscellaneous items. Clearwater Construction, Inc. of Mercer, PA, is the contractor on the $7.5 million job, which will carry into 2024.
