Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) updated drivers on a highway resurfacing project impacting five routes in Centre and Clinton County. The project will improve the ride quality and extend the service life of approximately 20 miles across the affected roadways.
The contractor started shoulder stabilization on Thursday, May 15, and expects to complete it by the end of the day on Monday, May 19. It plans to pave repair joints on Thursday, May 22, Friday, May 23, and Tuesday, May 27. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control during daylight hours while this work occurs. Drivers should build extra time into their commutes as PennDOT anticipates minor delays.
Along Route 477 in Clinton County, the contractor plans to start shoulder stabilization between Route 880 in Loganton Borough continuing southbound approximately four miles to the Centre-Clinton County line on Tuesday, May 20. Flaggers to be in the roadway through Thursday, May 22. Paving operations will follow the shoulder stabilization.
The contractor will not be working on Monday, May 26, due to the Memorial Day Holiday.
