    Update on Route 6 Project in Potter County

    May 08, 2023

    With work continuing on a Route 6 project in Potter County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is providing an update. Work to remove guide rail and stabilize shoulders through the work zone has completed. The zone stretches from Port Allegany (McKean County line) to Coudersport.

    Starting Tuesday, May 9, temporary traffic signals will be set to enforce an alternating traffic pattern at the bridge spanning Trout Brook. The bridge is about 5 miles west of Coudersport. Structure repairs will then commence, with an expected completion of July 1 for those repairs. Once structure repairs are complete, the temporary signals will be removed, and roadway flagging will be sued for the rest of the project.

    Later in May, roadwork activities will get underway, including roadway resurfacing, pipe replacements, inlets, guide rail improvements, box culvert repairs, outlet protection, pavement markings, and miscellaneous items.

    PennDOT expects this work to be complete by the end of October. Roadwork across this section of Route 6 will improve the condition of the roadway and result in smoother, safer travel for area motorists. Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. of State College, PA, is the contractor for this $7.6 million job. PennDOT reminds drivers to use caution in work zones, obey posted speed limits, and always buckle up.
