The project involves preservation repairs to an existing structure on SR 2007 SECTION PRS in WILKES BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY, in the COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA. The project is located along SR 2007 (South Street) at the structure over S. Pennsylvania Ave, S. Wilkes Barre Blvd., S. Baltimore Drive, S. Welles Street, Luzerne County Redevelopment Authority railroad (former Lehigh Valley Railroad), and Housing Authority of Wilkes Barre (Boulevard Townhomes), from Station 401+15..40 to Station 419+10.15, with an overall length of 1734.74ft. The proposed work involves repairs to the existing South Street Bridge. Repairs include replacement of the compression seal joints at the piers, grinding and rewelding of stitch welds, concrete repairs, debris removal, painting of steel superstructure and stringer bearings, crack sealing in the substructure units, replacement of damaged chain link fence, and replacement of missing light pole hand hole covers. Additional roadway improvements include milling and PPC overlay to entire bridge, repairs to the far approach roadway, and replacement of the damaged guiderail. The project is expected to be built under short term lane shifts of SR 2007 traffic. Two lanes of traffic will be maintained over the bridge at all times during construction. Short term single lane closures on S. Baltimore Dr., S. Wilkes-Barre Blvd., and S. Pennsylvania Ave. may also be needed for the concrete repairs, painting, welding, and crack sealing in this area.
