    The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is informing drivers of the potential for delays on several routes beginning first in Somerset County, followed by Cambria and Huntingdon counties, for road painting from Monday, October 26, through Friday, November 6, 2026.

    Contractors will be repainting pavement markings, including traffic arrows, warnings such as LEFT TURN ONLY, SLOW, and CURVE, and similar markings, beginning in Blair County and transition to Huntingdon County upon completion of Blair County. The project schedule is dependent on weather and rate of progression.
