    The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is advising motorists of minor traffic delays continuing next week on U.S. 219 (Ditter’s Curve) in Northern Cambria Borough, Cambria County, as the project nears the end of its single-lane restriction.

    On Monday, June 30, contractors will be placing asphalt for phase 2 of the U.S. 219 (Ditter’s Curve) reconstruction project, and subcontractors will be completing sidewalks.  

    On Monday, July 7, subcontractors will be working on signal pole foundations on U.S. 219 at the Barr Avenue and 24th Street / Nicktown Hill Road intersections. The contractor has tentatively schedule Friday, July 11, 2025, as the date to lift the single-lane restriction and width restrictions and open the site to two-way unrestricted traffic. The work is weather dependent. 

    Quaker Sales, Inc., Johnstown, PA, is the contractor for the $5,199,141.47 project, slated for completion in the 2025 construction season, which includes resurfacing, base repairs, guide rail and drainage upgrades, traffic signal replacements, and geometric curve improvements on U.S. 219. 

    Contractors will conduct work under daylight flagging, with the potential for traffic delays not to exceed 15 minutes.    

    As always, PennDOT stresses extra caution in all work zones. Motorists should drive slowly, eliminate all distractions, and stay alert for direction from advanced signage and flaggers.
