Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to a public plans display for the Route 446 roadway reconstruction project on Monday, August 18, between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM at the Eldred Borough Fire Hall (6 Platt Street, Eldred, PA 16731).

The plans display will follow an open-house format during which attendees will have an opportunity to review project displays and participate in discussions with project team members. The purpose of the plans display is to introduce the project, share the results of the current engineering studies, and gather public input related to the project.

The project will replace deteriorated drainage pipes and reconstruct and resurface the roadway on Route 446 (Main Street) from the intersection with Mechanic Street to the intersection with Chrisman Street. Milling and overlay will occur on Route 446 from Chrisman Street to the intersection with Route 346 (Prentisvale Road). PennDOT and borough officials strongly encourage you to attend and ask questions you have regarding the project.
