Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that a drainage improvement project along Route 144 in Boggs Township, Centre County, starts Monday, March 31. This project will redirect water flow to an existing waterway, prevent pooling on the roadway surface that can cause damage, and extend the pavement’s service life.
Starting Monday, the drivers should expect to encounter flaggers in the roadway providing traffic control along Route 144 between Runville and Wingate. PennDOT urges drivers to exercise caution in work zones, obey flaggers and other posted work zone signage, and always buckle their seatbelts.
Work on this contract includes replacing headwalls and end walls, grading, paving, and miscellaneous construction. HRI, Inc., of State College, PA, is the contractor for this $637,000 job. PennDOT anticipates completion in early August, but all construction schedules are subject to change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
