SELINSGROVE — The state Department of Transportation’s Engineering District 3 will hold a public meeting to provide updates and seek input on the Central Susquehanna Valley Transportation Project (CSVT) Southern Section from 6:30 to 9 p.m. May 25 at the Selinsgrove Middle School, 401 18th St.

The CSVT Southern Section is a proposed, four-lane, limited access highway in Monroe Township and Shamokin Dam Borough, Snyder County. It will connect Routes 11/15 north of Selinsgrove to Route 15 south of Winfield, and the project will include a connector from the new highway to Route 61.

PennDOT’s project design team will make a presentation at 6:30 p.m. and an open house will follow. On display will be alternatives developed to avoid the ash basins, some minor design changes and other aspects of the design process.

Project design team members will address questions and receive feedback during the meeting.

Engineering and environmental challenges have arisen during final design of the CSVT Southern Section. PennDOT has determined the CSVT and Route 61 Connector alignments must be modified to minimize acid rock excavation and to avoid the nearby fly ash waste basins.
