We are pleased to announce that the intersection project is close to being completed. Unfortunately, the overall project was delayed by about 2 months because of COVID related issues mostly due to lack of construction materials and some logistical and manpower shortages.
The remaining work will include completing the Northbound 309 turning lane, which could not be done until the new traffic signals were installed, installation of impact attenuators and final paving, final signal head adjustments and installation of signage and line striping.
The project widened route 309 by constructing a northbound left turn lane, realigned, and widened Lanark Road to provide an exclusive eastbound left-turn lane and shoulders, realigned, and widened Camp Meeting Road to include a westbound left-turn lane and shoulders, installed new traffic signals, emergency vehicle detectors, channelized right-turn islands and upgrade existing storm water facilities. Work for the project was awarded to Blooming Glen Contractors in the amount of $1.36 million in August of 2021.
Route 309, Lanark, and Camp Meeting Roads are PennDOT owned and maintained roadways, however the work was undertaken by the Township to mitigate traffic issues due to the unconventional intersection design. PennDOT provided a one-million-dollar grant towards the construction and Upper Saucon and the Southern Lehigh School District split the remaining cost equally.
Work is anticipated to be complete on October 29th.
A few residents have notice vibrations in and around the construction site at Estates at Saucon Valley. The vibrations are related to rock blasting at the construction site. The developer has secured the services of MD&B to blast rock on the site that will facilitate the construction of the residential development. MD&B stated that they expect Monday and Tuesday, October 18 & 19, to the last blast for several weeks as the scope of their work will be completed for now.
Upper Saucon Township has no authority over blasting and no role in this state regulated process. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is responsible for regulating the storage, handling and use of explosives in the Commonwealth. This includes blasting at coal mines, quarries, construction sites and demolition blasting. MD&B. has an approved Blasting Permit from PA DEP and they are carefully measuring vibrations from each of their blasting activities via seismograph to demonstrate compliance with the terms of their state Blasting Permit.
Concerned persons are welcome to contact the PA Bureau of Mining & Reclamation regional office in Pottsville at 570-621-3118 to file a complaint or learn more about the state regulations for this type of blasting activity
