    Minor Delays on U.S. Route 219 (Flight 93 Memorial Highway) and detour of T-685 (Miller Road) in Somerset County to continue through May 22

    The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is advising drivers that minor delays from long-term lane closures on U.S. 219 (Flight 93 Memorial Highway) and a detour of T-685 (Miller Road) under U.S. 219 in Somerset County will continue through Friday, May 22, 2026.

    From Monday, May 11, to Friday, May 22, 2026, the project contractor will implement long-term lane closures in both the northbound and southbound lanes of U.S. 219 as work continues on the Miller Road bridge replacement.

    T-685 (Miller Road) under U.S. 219 remains under a 4.7-mile detour, which uses Route 4017 (Horner Church Road) in Quemahoning Township, U.S. 30 and Route 4025 (Ralphton Road) in Jenner Township.

    New Enterprise Stone and Lime Co., New Enterprise, Pa., is the lead contractor for the 3-year, $24,600,000 million project that includes paving, the renovation of multiple bridge-structures, and drainage, guide rail and signage upgrades along five (5) miles of U.S. 219, from the Route 601 interchange to U.S. 30 interchange in Somerset, Lincoln, Quemahoning and Jenner townships, Somerset County. The project’s anticipated completion date is November of 2026. The project is weather dependent.
