    Paving Begins as the Dolby Street Safety Improvement Project Moves into Phase 2 of Construction

    September 11, 2026

    Indiana, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that the Route 68 Dolby Street to Trout Run Project in Monroe and Clarion townships, Clarion County will begin paving the north end of the project from Bouch Lane to the entrance of Fallers Furniture/Dollar General Plaza.

    September 15 through 21, there will be lane restrictions in place for the paving operation. Traffic will be controlled with flaggers. Motorists should be alert for lane restrictions, stopped traffic and potential delays.

    Once the paving is complete, the 10-foot width restriction at the bridge at Trout Run will be removed. The 10-foot width restriction, at the south end of the Project (near Dolby Street) will remain as work on the 60” pipe replacement begins.

    There will be no lane restrictions during the Autumn Leaf Festival in Clarion October 3 through 11.

    Work is weather dependent.

    The purpose of the project is to increase mobility, accessibility and safety for pedestrians and motorists.  This project involves the widening and realignment of Route 68 including the addition of a middle turn lane the entire length of the project limits and the replacement of the bridge that carries Route 68 over Trout Run.  Additional work to be completed will include guide rail updates, drainage improvements and utility relocations.

    Contractor, Francis J. Palo Inc., Clarion, PA will be completing this $13.3 million project anticipated to be completed in fall 2027.
