The moment you’ve all been waiting for…..SR-54 is now OPEN!

08/12/2026

There seems to be a lot of confusion about the closure of SR-54 in the Riverside/Danville area so we will try to make this as simple as possible for everyone to understand.

Once the closure is fully into effect, regular vehicle traffic will be able to get from Riverside to Danville using D&H Ave. (No trucks over 30 feet in length will be permitted in the detour)

Traffic trying to get from Danville to Riverside will have to go to either Northumberland or Catawissa.

A wallet was turned into our office that was found on the airport grounds after Saturday’s 250th Celebration.

There is no identifying information contained in the wallet but if the owner contacts the Riverside Police Department with the proper description of the wallet they can also arrange pickup.
