Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that work on a highway reconstruction project on Route 446 (Main Street) in Eldred Borough got underway on Monday, March 23. This project will improve the ride quality and extend the service life of approximately a mile of roadway between Route 346 (Derrick Road) and Mechanic Street.
Work got underway yesterday as the contractor began to mobilize equipment, saw cutting the existing pavement, and installing erosion and sedimentation controls. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control for the duration of the project. PennDOT urges drivers to exercise caution when traveling through work zones, obey flaggers, and always buckle up.
Work on this contract includes reconstructing the roadway, pouring new sidewalks with ADA compliant ramps and new concrete curbing, drainage improvements, line painting, and miscellaneous construction. Bob Cummins Construction, LLC, of Bradford, PA, is the contractor on this $4.4 million project. PennDOT anticipates project completion early in calendar year 2027 but reminds drivers that all construction schedules are subject to change due to weather or other circumstances.
