Two Monroe County road projects get federal funding
HARRISBURG – More than $15 million in federal stimulus money will go to two road projects in Monroe County .
- Mill, patch and overlay of Interstate 80 westbound between Interstate 380 and Route 115. Reconstruction of I-80 eastbound and westbound between Route 115 and the Carbon County line and the ramps at the interchange with Route 115, $11.7 million. This project was previously certified for Recovery Act funding; it is being revised to add ramp work.
- Restoration of Route 33, including the Sciota and Snydersville ramps and a section of U.S. 209, between the bridge over Bossardsville Road to Interstate 80 in Hamilton and Stroud townships, $4.5 million.
The projects are among 33 announced by Governor Edward Rendell.
“Pennsylvania has made, and will continue to make, good use of Recovery funds to tackle the backlogs in bridge and pavement maintenance,” Rendell said in his certification letter to U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.Return to PoconoNews.Net Home Page
