The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today announced that Grannas Bros. Stone & Asphalt Co., of Hollidaysburg, will start pavement preservation work on Wednesday, July 12, 2023, on a section of U.S. Route 22 in Frankstown Township, Blair County.
The three-mile section of U.S. 22 from the eastern side of Canoe Creek to the top of Short Mountain where four-lane traffic ends is where crews will work on milling and resurfacing, using flaggers for short-term daylight traffic control. Minimal delays are to be expected and motorists should plan accordingly. PennDOT urges caution around equipment and personnel, and warns drivers to stay alert, drive slowly and avoid all distractions while traveling through the construction zone.
Overall work includes replacement of existing pavement, drainage and guiderail upgrades, new signs, rumble strips and pavement markings along with some tree trimming and removal.
The $2.7 million project is weather dependent and is expected to be completed by the end of November 2023.
