The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is advising travelers that minor delays continue over the next two weeks on Interstate 70 (I-70) in Fulton County for a paving project.
From Monday, November 16, to Friday, November 20, 2026, contractors will be installing raised pavement markers on eastbound I-70 from mile marker 150 near Crystal Springs to mile marker 165 two (2) miles south of Exit 163 for Route 731 and Amaranth, and cleanup operations along the entire length of the 25-mile project, from East Providence Township in Bedford County to Warfordsburg in Fulton County. The work will use a mobile traffic pattern, which creates a temporary work zone that continuously or intermittently moves down the road alongside active maintenance vehicles.
During the week beginning on Monday, November 23, 2026, contractors will be performing guiderail upgrades and installing sign and pavement markings.
Drivers can expect short delays of three (3) to five (5) minutes from single-lane restrictions under signage and daylight flagging operations.
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.
New Enterprise Stone and Lime Co., Inc., of New Enterprise, Pa., is the lead contractor for the $30.9 million pavement preservation project, which includes milling and bridge work on I-70 eastbound from Amaranth Interchange to the Bedford County line in Union, Brush Creek and Bethel townships, Fulton County. The project is expected to be completed in August 2027.
