    Bellefonte, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced a start date of Tuesday, April 11, for a highway resurfacing project that will improve the ride quality and extend the life of approximately 23 miles on eight routes in Centre County.

    On Tuesday, the contractor will start milling and patching on Route 445 between Madisonburg and Route 64 in Walker Township. The contractor will reduce Route 445 to a single lane with flaggers in the roadway providing traffic control. PennDOT urges motorists to be alert for changing traffic patterns, exercise caution while traveling through all work zones, obey the posted speed limits, and always buckle up. All work on Route 445 will be during daylight hours, and PennDOT expects it to be complete by Friday, April 14.
