A project to repair two slide areas on Davey Hill Road (Route 3007) in Deerfield Township, Warren County is scheduled to start July 6, 2026.
There are two active slide areas that have caused the roadway to fail. The first slide is located approximately 2.8 miles northeast of the Tidioute Borough line. The second slide is located approximately 4.9 miles northeast of the Tidioute Borough line.
The project will include excavation and placement of stone-filled gabion baskets to create a retaining wall to support the roadway. Work will also include roadway reconstruction and updated guiderail.
Construction is expected to begin July 6, 2026, weather permitting, and is expected to be completed by October 2026.
A detour will be required during construction and is expected to be in place for approximately two weeks for each of the two locations. The detour will be posted using Route 27 (Youngsville Road) and Morrison Hill Road (Route 3011).
The detour is expected to be in place until August 2026.
The contractor is Clearwater Construction Inc. of Mercer, PA. The contract cost is $449,449, which is to be paid entirely with state funds.
