State College, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that Ameron Construction will implement long-term traffic control at the Woodycrest Intersection of Route 3014 (Atherton Street) in State College on Monday, July 24, for a project to upgrade traffic signals and extend the westbound turning lane for the entrance to Aldi. A private third party is completing this work as it is not associated with a PennDOT project.
Starting Monday, the contractor will close the left (passing) lane on the eastbound and westbound sides of Atherton Street while it rebuilds the center (turning) lane. Traffic will shift to the right (travel) lane while passing through the work zone for the duration of this phase. PennDOT expects traffic impacts to be minimal but urges drivers to stay alert for periods of intermittent flagging and to build extra time into their travel schedules to compensate.
PennDOT expects this phase of the project to wrap early in August. Work at the North Atherton Place intersection will begin after work at Woody Crest is complete. PennDOT will issue a project update to alert motorists before the phase impacting North Atherton Place gets underway.
