From staff reports
PennDOT and the City of Franklin have announced that work will begin in early April on the Liberty Street Streetscape Project in downtown Franklin.
The project includes the sidewalks along the section of Liberty Street from the intersection with 12th Street to the intersection with 14th Street.
Work will include upgrades to the existing sidewalk and lighting to meet safety and ADA standards, such as the removal of bricks and new light poles. Crosswalk improvements also will be done.
Work is expected to start April 4, weather permitting, and be completed in the summer.
Motorists in the area may encounter traffic controlled by flaggers as needed to complete work at intersections.
The contractor for the work is M&B Services of Clarion. The contract cost is $639,312.
This project is being federally funded by the Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside Program, which is administered by PennDOT in coordination with Franklin.
