Work on Route 220 in Clinton County to start Monday

LOCK HAVEN, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has announced that work on Route 220 in Castanea Township is slated to start Monday, April 26. PennDOT said the work is part of a larger project to improve the ride quality and extend the useful life of approximately 43 miles of roadway on 12 different routes in Centre and Clinton counties.

Motorists traveling Route 220 between Salona and McElhattan should expect to encounter closures of the left (passing) lane in the northbound and southbound lanes. The contractor will be removing existing raised pavement markers, patching pavement, eradicating pavement marking and painting new lines as necessary. The contractor will lift the closures at the end of each workday.

Work scheduled is being completed in preparation to resurface the existing northbound and southbound lanes. The contractor anticipates completing the resurfacing work by early June. Glen O. Hawbaker, Inc. of State College is the contractor on this $6.8 million project. All work is weather and schedule dependent.

Work on this project will be done in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and state Department of Health guidance as well as a project-specific COVID-19 safety plan, which includes protocols for social distancing, use of face coverings, personal and job site cleaning protocols, management of entries to the job site and relevant training.
