The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation began work Wednesday to improve several roads in Bradford — and motorists may be thinking it’s not a moment too soon.
Through the end of July, a crew will be milling and filling areas along High Street, Owens Way, South Avenue, West Corydon Street and Sullivan Road. Paving of the streets is set for August.
A PennDOT spokesperson did not immediately respond to questions regarding what portions of those roads will be addressed.
Traffic will be controlled by flaggers in the roadway enforcing an alternating traffic pattern. Drivers should expect delays.
Later this summer, a section of Route 49 in Potter County, from Coudersport to Harrison Valley, will see improvement work. Overall work includes milling, road repair, ADA ramps and paving. A small amount of drainage work is also planned.
This work is expected to extend the useful life of the roadway and improve overall ride quality.
