Lackawanna County Commissioners voted to award the $3.575 million contract to Pennsy Supply of Pittston, who submitted the lowest qualifying bid for the work.

“This is the first major road infrastructure commitment on the mountain in many years,” said County Commissioner Bill Gaughan. “It will serve commercial businesses, recreation businesses, residents, and the thousands of people who use those roads every year to access PNC Field for RailRiders games, the amphitheater, ski area and water park, offices, shops and theater," continued Gaughan.
In 2026, the county has plans to repave Glennmaura National Boulevard from its intersection with Montage Mountain Road to Route 502 in Moosic.
The commissioners also approved major repairs for the Poplar Street bridge in Mayfield to be done this spring and is expected to be completed this year.
