    Highway Resurfacing in Juniata, Mifflin Counties Starts May 1

    April 26, 2023

    Mifflintown, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that a highway resurfacing project in Juniata and Mifflin counties will start on May 1. This project will improve the ride quality and extend the life of approximately 12 miles of roadway in Lack Township in Juniata County, Granville Township in Mifflin County, and Lewistown Borough.

    On Monday, the contractor will reduce traffic on Route 35 in Lack Township, Juniata County, to a single lane. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control. Drivers should anticipate short travel delays during daylight hours while work takes place. PennDOT urges drivers to exercise caution, to be alert for construction vehicles making sudden stops, and not to follow construction vehicles into the closed lane as they deliver material.

    Mifflin County roads that will see work as part of this project include:

    • Route 3004 (Big Ridge Road) in Granville Township
    • Route 3005 (Bratton Avenue) in Lewistown Borough and Granville Township

    PennDOT will issue an update before the contractor begins work on the Mifflin County roads.

    Overall work on this project includes highway resurfacing, drainage improvements, guide rail replacement, pavement marking, and miscellaneous construction. Grannas Brothers Stone and Asphalt Co., Inc., of Hollidaysburg, PA, is the contractor on this $2.8 million project. PennDOT anticipates completion by early September. All work is weather and schedule dependent.
