This project will improve the ride quality and increase safety for motorists.
A detour around this project site will route traffic onto Route 1006 (Clarion Street), Route 219, Route 1009 (Center Street in Johnsonburg Borough), and Route 1004 (Glen Avenue) for a detour length of 13 miles. PennDOT anticipates completion of the project within a week.
