The community can now easily see what changes will be made to a portion of the Cameron Street Bridge.
PennDOT shared on Wednesday that plans for the replacement of the bridge, over Asylum Run and between Maclay Street/Arsenal Road and Muench Street, are now available to view online.
The project includes replacing the bridge that is in poor condition over Asylum Run, a two-lane, two-way section of Cameron Street. The bridge will be replaced with a new box culvert and will tie into a private bridge to the east.
The new structure will be built in stages to allow at least one lane of traffic to remain open at all times. PennDOT will also put protective barriers in place to guide pedestrians as sidewalk construction occurs.
There may be additional updates to signage, pavement markings and drainage, as well.
The project is currently in the design phase and PennDOT expects work to happen during 2028-29.
PennDOT will accept public comments on the project through Oct. 18.
