High Friction Surface Treatment Application to Continue on Butler Road in West Kittanning Borough

Indiana, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is announcing evening work on June 19 for the application of a High Friction Surface Treatment on Butler Road/State Route 1038 in West Kittanning Borough, Armstrong County.

During the application, there will be a single lane restriction on Butler Road/State Route 1038 from 6:00 PM on June 19 to 6:00 AM on June 20.  The area of application is between the intersections of Pony Farm Road and Pine Hill Road.

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.

Work is weather dependent.
