GOOD NEWS!
Old Route
115 will be completely reconstructed next year. Total cost of the project for
the township’s section of Old Route 115 (Route 118 to Jackson Road) is approximately
$700,000. We applied for a PennDOT Multimodal Grant in November of 2018. In
February of this year PennDOT awarded us $473,000. Subsequently we partnered
with Luzerne County and are receiving additional federal funds in the amount of
up to $400,000. These funds are not available until 2020. The county has received
an additional $400,000 in federal funds that will also be added to the project
which will be used to reconstruct the county’s section of Old Route 115 from
Jackson Road to Huntsville Road. As a result, Old Route 115 will be
reconstructed from Route 118 to Huntsville Road at a total cost of around $1,
273, 000.
Since the reconstruction
can’t be accomplished until next year, on Saturday, May 18th we will
be paving some the rough areas of Old Route 115 in Lehman Township. Work will
begin at 7:00 AM and should be complete around 1:00 PM. Please use alternate
routes since the road will be closed one section at a time. This is a temporary
fix for the safety of the public.

Lehman Township
