CLEARFIELD — Paving will be taking place on U.S. Route 6 in Coudersport through Sept. 5, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
Begun in 2016, this two-year project will result in an improved roadway surface through downtown Coudersport as well as sidewalk improvements and bridge repairs.
On September 6, Chestnut Street will be open to two-way traffic and Route 6 westbound traffic will continue to be detoured onto First Street, West Street, and Eulalia Street. Route 6 eastbound traffic will be detoured onto Oak Street and Mill Street.
The week of Sept. 4, construction will begin on the eastbound lane of Second Street between Main Street and Ludwig Lane. Completion of the eastbound lane is expected by Oct. 2, at which time construction on the westbound lane will begin.
Impacts to parking in the downtown area continue, with fewer spaces than normal available. Drivers should remain prepared for travel delays in and around Coudersport.
The work zone stretches along Route 6 from West Street to Ludwig Lane. Overall work includes roadway reconstruction, drainage improvements, bridge rehabilitation, traffic signal upgrades, water line relocation, pavement markings, and miscellaneous items.
Glenn O. Hawbaker Inc. of State College is the contractor on this $4.8 million project, which will continue through November. All work is weather and schedule dependent.
