Plans for the project were first released in 2024. Although work on the $1.26 million project is beginning later than originally announced by PennDOT, the transportation agency says that PennDOT contractor JVI Group Inc. still expects to complete everything by Oct. 25.
As part of the project, PennDOT contractor JVI Group Inc. will install a new traffic signal, ADA crossing ramps, and updated drainage at the intersection.
State Route 72 will stay open throughout construction, with a two-week detour planned for Isabel Drive at some point during the project. Access to businesses in the area will be maintained throughout the work.
The planned improvements at Isabel Drive and the ongoing work at Wilhelm Avenue and Cornwall Road are the final improvements identified by a master traffic study conducted as part of North Cornwall Commons, according to previous LebTown coverage.
