Reconstruction work on Route 77 in the City of Corry will shift to the section between First and Third streets starting next week.
The ongoing detour of through traffic will remain in place. The detour is posted using Route 77, Route 8, Route 6, and Route 426.
This phase is expected to take three weeks to complete, at which time the detour will be lifted.
Work on the two-year project will continue as weather permits. Drivers should be alert for daytime lane restrictions.
The work is part of a $9.8 million multi-year resurfacing project that will give motorists a smoother ride on more than a total of 5 miles of roadway in Corry, including Route 77, W. Washington Street (Route 2020), and S. Center Street.
