CLEARFIELD — A Pennsylvania Department of Transportation road improvement project for McKean and Potter counties will get underway Monday.
The project will bring improvements to more than 27 miles of road surface across sections of ten roads in the two counties — providing smoother, safer travel for regional motorists.
Overall work includes milling and resurfacing, curbing, sidewalks, guide rail updates, and miscellaneous items. Work will vary from section to section. All work is weather and schedule dependent.
Next week, crews are scheduled to perform work at the following locations: In McKean County, joint repair on Route 155 in the northern Port Allegany area; joint repair on Route 44 from the McKean/ Potter county line to the New York state line; In Potter County, milling and resurfacing on Route 49 from the Route 44 intersection to east of the Allegany Township line.
Work zones will feature a daylight alternating traffic pattern, controlled by flaggers in the roadway. Short travel delays should be expected.
Glenn O. Hawbaker Inc. of State College is the contractor on this $5.7 million job, which is expected to finish by the end of October.
Other locations scheduled to see work in 2017 are: Route 346 (West Washington Street) in Bradford, Route 44 in Coudersport, Route 49 in the Harrison Valley area, Route 1003 (South Street), south of Ulysses, Route 1005 (Phoenix Road) in Hector Township, Route 4003 (Clara Road) bridge approaches, Route 4009 (Baker Creek Road) in Hebron and Allegany townships, and Route 4014 (Plank Road) in Sharon Township.
PennDOT will issue updates on work locations for this project as progress allows. Drivers are reminded to use caution in all work zones, obey posted speed limits, and always buckle up.
