Montoursville, PA – Motorists who travel Shamrock Road (Route 2010) in Shamokin Township, Northumberland County, are advised that a railroad crossing project begins this week.
Beginning Friday, August 2, 2024, Shamrock Road will be closed between Mulberry Road and Rose Road, while the contractor, CTW, installs a custom tub-style rail / highway crossing across the road.
A detour using Bottle Road (Route 4012), Snydertown Road (Route 4012), and Short Road (Route 2007) will be in place for the duration of the project. The project is anticipated to be completed on Friday, August 9, 2024, weather permitting.
This work is a cooperative effort between the Shamokin Valley Rail Road and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
Motorists should be alert, slow down, expect delays in travel, and drive with caution.
