    One-day Closure of Intersection of Route 756 (Elton Road) and T-805 (Vo-Tech Drive) to Detour Traffic in Richland Township, Cambria County, June 22

    June 17, 2026

    The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is informing drivers the one-day closure of the intersection of Route 756 (Elton Road) and T-805 (Vo-Tech Drive) in Richland Township, Cambria County, on Monday, June 22, 2026.

    Contractors will close Route 756 (Elton Road) intersection with T-805 (Vo-Tech Drive) for a single day on Monday, June 22, for waterline relocation. Traffic will be detoured to Schoolhouse Road and back to Vo-Tech Drive, approximately 2.4 miles from closure point to closure point. The detour is both weather dependent and dependent on the project’s progress, and could be postponed to Tuesday, June 23.

    Contractors will also implement single-lane restriction on Route 756 (Elton Road) between T-805 (Vo-Tech Drive) and Industrial Park Road, approximately 1,000 feet, under daylight flagging operations causing short delays of three (3) to five (5) minutes.

    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. 

    A Liberoni, Inc., Plum, Pa., is the lead contractor for the two-year, 2.5-mile, $9,473,117.05 Route 756 resurfacing project, which includes paving/resurfacing, sight distance and intersection safety improvements, the addition of left turning lanes, improved drainage, shoulder widening, the inclusion of bicycle-safe grates and the replacement of traffic signals and overhead signs.
