The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is providing an update on its slope repair project in Clinton County. The slope/slide area is located along Route 120, about 1 mile north of the village of Keating in East Keating Township.
Beginning Monday, May 8, the contractor will begin installation of drainage. This work will bring short term lane closures, controlled by roadway flagging. Barrier will also be set so that the eastbound lane can be closed for project work.
On Friday, May 12, PennDOT expects temporary traffic signals to be in use, enforcing an alternating traffic pattern using the westbound lane through the work zone. Motorists should expect short travel delays. PennDOT reminds drivers to use caution in work zones, obey posted speed limits, and always buckle up.
Overall work includes construction of a retaining wall, repairs to the eastbound lane of Route 120, roadway overlay, drainage updates and guide rail updates. Once complete, these corrective measures will repair damage to the slope.
HRI, Inc. of State College is the contractor on this $1.4 million project. PennDOT expects work to be complete in mid-August.
