The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is advising drivers that the detours of Ramps B and C connecting U.S. 30 to U.S. 219 in Jenner Township, Somerset County, are set to end by Thursday, October 1, 2026.
The Ramp B detour uses U.S. 219 northbound to the Route 601 interchange, and the Ramp C detour uses U.S. 219 southbound to the Route 281 interchange.
Long-term lane closures are in effect 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.
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 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.
