Road construction in Greenville to resume this month
GREENVILLE, Pa. (WKBN) — Road construction near Thiel College in Greenville is expected to restart soon.
The Route 18-Route 58 Improvement Project includes Route 18 from the intersection of Route 358 to the intersection with Mill Hill Road and Route 58 from the intersection with Route 18 to East Craig Street.
Work started last year and is expected to be completed this October.
Construction is scheduled to restart on March 31.
Work will be completed in five phases and have different restrictions during each phase:
Phase 1: Drainage, tree removal and roadway widening along Route 18 from Shenango Street to Packard Avenue.
Phase 2: Drainage, roadway widening, and sidewalk and ADA-compliant curb ramp construction along Route 18 from Main Street to Packard Avenue and Orangeville Road to Front Street, as well as new signal foundations at the intersections of Route 18 and Route 58, 358, and High Street (Route 4005).
Phase 3: Roadway widening, sidewalk and ADA-compliant curb ramp construction along Route 18 from Main Street to Packard Avenue and Orangeville Road to Front Street, and reconstruction at the intersection of Route 58 and Route 18.
Phase 4: Removal of the existing pavement and installation of a new traffic signal at the intersection of Route 58 and Route 18. A one-week detour of Route 58 westbound traffic will be required during a portion of the work. Route 18 will be closed between Route 18 and 200 feet north of Packard Avenue Extension and the intersection with Ridgeway Avenue.
Phase 5: Place the final layer of asphalt throughout the project area, landscaping and pavement markings.
All phases will include flaggers through the construction site except for phase four. A one-week detour of Route 58 westbound traffic will be required during a portion of the work. Route 18 will be closed between Route 18 and 200 feet north of Packard Avenue Extension and the intersection with Ridgeway Avenue. The detour for cars for this phase will be from Route 18 to Williamson Road to Route 58. The truck detour will be from Route 18 to Route 322 to Route 58.
The purpose of the project is to improve pedestrian accessibility, safety and intersection efficiency.
