The public is invited to learn more this week about a big project to expand a section of Route 228 in Adams Township.
PennDOT will provide updates on current plans for the Route 228 Mars Railroad Bridge Project. An open house for the public to view and discuss the plans will be held from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. Thursday at the Adams Township Municipal Building on Valencia Road in Mars.
The proposed project includes widening a roughly 3.25-mile portion of the road from just west of Franklin Road intersection to about a half mile east of the Beaver Street Extension intersection. In that section, Route 228 would go from two lanes (one in each direction) to four lanes (two in each direction).
PennDOT officials and project team members will answer any questions and address any concerns from the public.
