    Pavement Preservation Work Moves to Additional Location on Route 271 (Menoher Boulevard) in Cambria County

    June 06, 2023

    The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today announced that A. Liberoni Inc., of Plum, tomorrow, June 7, 2023, will add a new section of pavement preservation work to a project that has already begun along Route 271 (Menoher Boulevard) in the City of Johnstown, Southmont and Westmont Boroughs, Cambria County.

    On Wednesday, the contractor will start milling and paving operations on Route 271 (Menoher Boulevard) between Route 3007 (Goucher Street) and Susan Drive. This work will continue for the next four weeks and is expected to be completed by the end of June. Milling and resurfacing on the section of Route 271 (Menoher Boulevard) from Haynes Street to Susan Drive that started on May 22 will continue simultaneously, with plans to be completed by the end of June.

    Both of these construction zones will see traffic managed under daylight flagging operations.  Delays of approximately 10 minutes are expected and motorists should plan ahead, giving themselves extra time to arrive at their destinations. They also are cautioned to drive slowly and pay close attention to people and equipment moving throughout the work zone.

    The overall project involves pavement upgrades on 9.25 miles of Route 271 from Woodmont Road in Upper Yoder Township to Route 3037 (William Penn Avenue) in East Taylor Township.

    All work on this approximately $7 million project is expected to be completed by the end of September 2023 and is weather dependent.
