    The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is advising motorists of minor traffic delays at the intersection of U.S. 219 and Route 271 (Nicktown Hill Road) in Northern Cambria Borough, Cambria County, beginning Monday, July 21, 2025. 

    On Monday, July 21, contractors will be removing underground storage tanks near the intersection. The project is expected to last three days.     

    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.  

    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 from Sunset Road to Nixon Avenue in Northern Cambria.

    PennDOT reminds motorists that as of June 5, 2025, the "Paul Miller's Law" is in effect. This law prohibits the use of hand-held devices while driving, even while stopped temporarily due to traffic, a red light, or other momentary delay. Violation of this law is punishable by way of summary citations issued by any Pennsylvania Law Enforcement officer. We strongly urge motorists to make safe choices, put phones out of reach and don’t text and drive.
