Now that winter has turned to spring, Scranton prepares plans to pave parts of 17 streets this summer throughout the city.

The paving would encompass about 30 blocks of roads and alleys in various neighborhoods.

“After a brutally cold winter, we are ready to begin our 2026 paving projects,” Mayor Paige Gebhardt Cognetti said in a recent announcement. “Our DPW workers will continue to address potholes, and we will hold utility companies accountable for other major road repairs through our improved pave cut process.”

In recent years, the city has implemented a new process for restoring pave cuts made in the asphalt of roads by utility companies for various reasons, including system upgrades or emergency work.

The city is accepting bids until April 16 at 10 a.m. on paving the following streets:

• Atlanta Avenue, from Greenbush to Reese streets.

• Bristol Court, from East Market to Deacon streets.

• Byron Lane, from North Keyser Avenue to the dead end above Horatio Avenue.

• Clover Street, from West Market Street north to the dead end, and from Steele Street north to the dead end.

• Crossin Court, from Swetland to Oram streets.

• Donnelly Court, from Palm to Pear streets.

• Fig Street, from South Webster to Crown avenues.

• Gilbert Street, from Rockwell Avenue to Leach Street.

• Hertz Court, from Hemlock to Orchard streets.

• Joseph Avenue, from Ash Street northeast to the dead end.

• Leach Street, from Gilbert Street northwest to the dead end.

• Matthew Avenue, from Ash Street to and including the cul-de-sac.

• Pear Street, from South Irving to Crown avenues.

• Stipp Court, from Roselynn to East Gibson streets.

• Watrous Avenue, from Ash Street north to the dead end.

Meanwhile, additional paving projects this summer might include:

• Hollow Avenue, from West Market Street to the Hollow Avenue bridge and beyond to the cul-de- sac.

• Center Street, from Penn to Franklin avenues.

Officials estimate the summer paving to cost $1.1 million, and it would be paid with state Liquid Fuels Funds allocated to the city and coming out of the city’s general fund, city Business Administrator Eileen Cipriani said.

The city also intends later this summer to start the bidding process for a paving project to take place during the fall, Cipriani said.
