GREENVILLE, Pa. - Road work is expected to begin next week for a project to improve Routes 18 and 58 in Greenville.

Drivers can expect to see lane restrictions on Route 18 beginning Monday, September 30 for the two-year Route 18-Route 58 Improvement Project.

Work from the intersection with Route 358 to the intersection with Packard Avenue and Route 58 will require temporary lane restrictions between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. from September 30 until October 4 weather permitting.

Traffic will be controlled by flaggers during this time. Drivers should expect traffic delays during work hours.

The project includes Route 18 from the intersection of Route 358 to the intersection with Mill Hill Road, as well as Route 58 from the intersection with Route 18 to East Craig Street.

The goal of the project is to improve pedestrian accessibility and safety, as well as intersection efficiency throughout the corridor.

Work in the first year of the project started earlier in September and includes roadway base repairs and paving Route 18 from Route 358 to Route 58 in preparation for additional work in 2025.

Utility work will also be completed before the project pauses during the winter months.

In 2025, work will include improvements at three intersections including realignments at Route 18 and Route 58 and Packard Avenue, as well as Route 58 and Packard Avenue.

The project also includes new or upgraded sidewalk, ADA-compliant curb ramps, driveway entrances, milling and paving, base repair, new traffic signal, drainage updates and pavement marking updates.

Throughout the project, motorists may encounter lane restrictions, traffic pattern shifts and traffic controlled by flaggers on Route 18.

Route 58 will have a northbound detour for through traffic for one week. During this time, the road will be closed between Route 18 and 200 feet north of Packard Avenue Extension and the intersection with Ridgeway Avenue.

The detour for cars will be Route 18 to Williamson Road to Route 58. The detour for trucks will be Route 18 to Route 322 to Route 58.

Access to driveways and businesses will be maintained throughout the project.

The project is expected to be completed by October of 2025.
