Indiana, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is announcing the application of a High Friction Surface Treatment on portions of Routes 422, 119, 954 and 553 will occur today through April 23 in Indiana County.
During the application, weekdays from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, there will be single lane restrictions at the following locations in Indiana County: Route 422 at Yellow Creek Campground; Route 119 near Sleepy Hollow Road in front of Hutten Blews Insurance; and Route 954 at the Rose Bud Lowery Mine. Work is weather dependent.
High Friction Surface Treatment involves the application of aggregate to the pavement using a binder to restore and/or maintain pavement friction. The higher pavement friction helps motorists maintain better control in both dry and wet driving conditions.
Mekis Construction of Fenelton, PA will be completing this $1.95 million project at 31 locations throughout Armstrong, Butler, Clarion, Indiana and Jefferson counties.
Drivers can check conditions on major roadways by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,200 traffic cameras.
511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional X alerts.
