Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) said the contractor for a concrete preservation project impacting Route 22 in Walker Township, Juniata County, will restart work to improve ride quality, extend the roadway’s service life, and improve safety on Monday, March 17.
Starting Monday, the contractor will close the right (travel) lane of Route 22 eastbound and westbound between the Port Royal and East Salem-Thompsontown exits in Juniata County. PennDOT expects these lane closures to be in place until late March. After finishing the travel lanes, the contractor will close the left (passing) lane in each direction. PennDOT will issue an update before this switch.
The project involves repairing concrete roadway surfaces, improving roadside drainage, installing rumble strips, and marking pavement on six roadways in PennDOT’s North Central region. Route 322 between the Milroy and Reedsville-Belleville exits in Armagh and Brown townships saw work as part of this project during the 2024 construction season. The contractor will return to that site in the 2025 construction season to correct surface irregularities in the newly poured concrete. PennDOT will issue an update before their return.
Other roads to see work as part of this project during the 2025 construction season are:
- Route 220 northbound and southbound between the Harrison Road and Pine Creek exits in Clinton County, including work on the ramps at the Harrison Road interchange.
- Routes 75 and 2001 (Industrial Park Road) north and southbound between Route 3002 (Main Street) and the interchange to Route 22/322 westbound toward Lewistown.
JVI Group Inc., of York Springs, PA, is the contractor for this $5.1 million project. PennDOT anticipates them completing the project in mid-October, but all work is weather-dependent.
