Montoursville, Pa. â As 2020 nears its end, PennDOT Engineering District 3-0 is wrapping up another busy construction season in northcentral Pennsylvania.
The nine-county district opened bids for 53 contracts totaling nearly $68.8 million in value. Of those contracts, 30 were for roadway work and 23 were for bridge work.Â
More than 138 miles of paving and 246 miles of seal coating (tar and chip) were completed in the district in 2020.
Work was performed on 72 state-owned bridges by contractors or department forces. This included the replacement or rehabilitation of 22 bridges, and preservation work on 50 bridges in good condition to extend the life of those bridges. Â
This work included 11 small bridge projects and 2 bridge preservation projects completed by department force crews. The district has been able to stretch limited resources by using in-house capabilities such as paving and bridge crews to complete work.
