Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced a portion of Route 26 (Beaver Avenue) in State College Borough will be closed, and a detour put into effect, beginning Monday, June 8. This closure will facilitate the staging of a crane on the roadway that is necessary for the construction of a residential structure along the route.
Beginning June 8, Beaver Avenue will be closed between Atherton Street and Burrowes Street. PennDOT will implement an approximately three-mile detour routing traffic around the closure using Routes 3014, (Atherton Street) 3007 (Park Avenue), 3022 (University Drive), and back onto Route 26 at the University Drive onramp. PennDOT expects work to be completed by Wednesday, June 10.
