Uniontown, PA – Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is planning single-lane restrictions on a portion of southbound Route 119 (Fourth Street) in Youngwood Borough, Westmoreland County. Additionally, there will be intermittent closures on the side streets that intersect southbound Route 119 (Fourth Street) between Burton Avenue and Stouts Carpeting.
The traffic impacts will allow crews from Golden Triangle to perform paving operations as part of the $23.8 million Route 119 Youngwood Reconstruction Project.
Dependent on weather and operations, restrictions and closures are scheduled to take place weekdays from Tuesday, July 25 through Friday, August 4 from 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
The Route 119 Youngwood Reconstruction Project includes total reconstruction of the northbound (Third Street) and southbound (Fourth Street) lanes of State Route 119 in Hempfield Township, New Stanton and Youngwood Boroughs. Project completion is anticipated for September 2023. Motorists should drive with caution through work zones and allow extra travel time.
