Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that the contractor for an embankment slide repair on Route 770 in Bradford Township, McKean County, will close the road on Thursday, September 10. This project will correct the slide by building a rock buttress while improving the ride quality and service life of the road by way of minor roadway and drainage improvements.
Starting Thursday, the contractor will close the road and implement a detour using Route 59 and Route 219. PennDOT anticipates this closure and detour remaining in effect until mid-October, but all construction schedules are subject to change without notice due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. is the contractor on this $1.4 million contract.
