PennDOT to Hold Virtual Public Meeting on Route 51 Monaca Gateway Project

Pittsburgh, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), in cooperation with Monaca Borough, will conduct a Virtual Public Meeting for the SR 51 Section B52 – Monaca Gateway Project in Monaca Borough, Beaver County.

The Virtual Public Meeting will include a live virtual presentation which will be held as follows:

Date: Wednesday, October 20, 2021

Time: 5:00 – 6:30 p.m.

Location: Virtual, Microsoft Teams (Link listed below)

The project area includes the intersection of SR 4044 and SR 0051 (Pennsylvania Avenue/17th Street) and extends along Pennsylvania Avenue (SR 4044) to 15th Street to the west. The proposed improvements include replacing the existing stop-controlled intersection with a roundabout gateway design that will improve operations and geometry.
