The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is informing drivers the possibility for delays from single-lane restrictions on Route 36 (South Logan Boulevard) between Lakemont and Hollidaysburg over the next two weeks.
From Monday, June 22, through Thursday, July 2, 2026, the contractor will be building temporary crossover lanes (which divert traffic into opposing lanes, allowing crews to work safely on one side of a divided highway) from Focht Street to Convention Center Boulevard for the future implementation of the South Pine Street-drainage pipe traffic control plan.
As always, PennDOT stresses extra caution in all work zones. Drivers should drive slowly, eliminate all distractions, and stay alert for direction from advanced signage and flaggers.
New Enterprise Stone & Lime Co., Inc., New Enterprise, Pa., is the lead contractor for the $5,449,000 pavement preservation and draining improvements project, which includes resurfacing 3.5 miles of Route 36 (Logan Boulevard) from U.S. 22 (Blair St.) in Hollidaysburg to Route 1001 (Plank Road) in Altoona, and various pipe culvert replacements, tree removal, guide rail and signage upgrades through Hollidaysburg, Altoona, and Frankstown, Allegheny and Logan townships. The project is expected to be completed in October 2026.
