Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) McKean County Maintenance Division announced it will close a portion of the westbound lane of Route 770 (Warren Road) heading toward Warren on Thursday, April 10. PennDOT is closing the lane due to a slide condition starting approximately half a mile west of Shep Run Road and continuing westbound for a quarter mile.
PennDOT will place temporary traffic signals at each end of the slide to direct traffic around the area via the eastbound lane. It expects the lane to be closed indefinitely while a project to correct the condition is designed and bid. PennDOT does not have a timetable for when repairs will begin but will issue updates as more information becomes available.
The average number of vehicles that travel this portion of Route 770 per day is 1,336. PennDOT anticipates minimal traffic impacts but encourages drivers to allow extra time for their commute.
