With a strong back log of work, our 2011 construction season is going full steam ahead. While many motorists have been held up from time to time in downtown Honesdale, we are happy to report that the Honesdale CSO project is over 50% complete. This project, under the direction of the Central Honesdale Sewer Authority and separate contracts with AQUA Water Company, has helped to revitalize and bring the infrastructure of our town to into modern times.
In 2010 we completed numerous projects including, the Uniondale Bridge in Susquehanna, the Shohola Bridge, the Hawley Silk Mill, Valley View Business Park, Hawley Streetscapes, Jefferson Township Sewer and Pump Station, US 6 and Plank Road, and Milford Bushkill Road Reconstruction. The Log Tavern Road Bridge and the Mink Pond Bridge are set to finish this season.
Under the direction of PENNDOT and the National Park Service, we are working on the historical Pond Eddy Bridge which will increase the bridgeÕs weight limit to safe levels over the Delaware River. In addition, we are continuing the massive $18 million project in MarshallÕs Creek to relieve traffic congestion and improve safety through this corridor. This project is a three year project that is environmentally sensitive with 3 animal safe passages built into the project.
