The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is informing drivers of long-term lane restrictions and minor delays on U.S. 22 (William Penn Highway) from the Route 164 Munster-Portage Exit to the Route 53 Cresson-Lilly Exit in Cambria County from Monday, April 27, through Friday, May 8, 2026, as a resurfacing and bridge rehabilitation project continues.
Drivers can expect minor delays (3-5 minutes) on U.S. 22 in Munster and Cresson townships with single-lane restrictions (closure of the left passing lane) in both the eastbound and westbound lanes from the Route 164 Munster-Portage Exit to the Route 53 Cresson-Lilly Exit.
Contractors will be applying latex modified concrete on U.S. 22 bridge over Norfolk Southern Railroad, requiring the left passing lane to be closed. Work will also continue on Route 53 (West 2nd Street) bridge over U.S. 22.
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.
Grannas Bros. Stone & Asphalt Co., Inc., Hollidaysburg, Pa., is the lead contractor for the $11,564,159.00 project which includes pavement resurfacing, guide rail upgrades, drainage maintenance, and rehabilitation of both the bridge carrying Route 53 (West 2nd Street) over U.S. 22 and the bridge over Norfolk Southern Railroad. The project is scheduled for completion in mid-November 2026.
