Last I heard Irishtown Rd. is supposed to be bypassed by building a road to the side of the tracks to the nearest underpass, Eby Cheques is supposed to be bridged, and Newcombers is to be discontinued entirely.
Yep. The last I heard back in October, the initial work at Irishtown was to begin in March and the Eby Cheques/New Comer replacements was to have begun in January this year. It would appear nothing was underway yet, so I am betting they are waiting for warmer weather...
Are there more than 3 crossings on the Keystone Corridor?

Looking at the area around Irishtown Road, a bridge there will look so WRONG!!!
