September 1, 2019: Fourth Street Arch, Irwin, Pennsylvania Spanning its namesake thoroughfare on the west side of Main Street in Irwin, Pennsylvania is the Fourth Street Arch, an expression of civic pride and the centerpiece of a long-germinating streetscape project that sought to beautify and revitalize the borough's downtown business district after decades of decline. The Irwin Project, as it was known, was launched in 2004 in the wake of a visit by a team of architecture students from Penn State University as part of the Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor Project, a nationwide effort at raising awareness of the history of America's first coast-to-coast &quot;auto trail&quot;, partly through civic initiatives such as this in the towns and cities along its route. Irwin's municipal government saw participation in the project as a way to both draw in tourist traffic and combat the slow but steady flight of businesses away from downtown to locations along busy Route 30, mostly outside the borough limits. In addition to the ornate wrought-iron gateway seen here, which was unveiled to much fanfare in summer 2012, the $1.9 million, PennDOT-funded project also comprised wayfinding signage, new crosswalks and street lighting, and bus shelters, planters, and other street furniture. Although correlation is not causation, the subsequent years did indeed see a new vitality injected into downtown Irwin, with new shops and restaurants occupying once-vacant spaces and a growing calendar of popular community events.
