Traffic Control to be Removed Tomorrow on Route 220 Job
LOCK HAVEN – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is advising drivers that the removal of the long term traffic control on Route 220 will start tomorrow. It is anticipated that this work will take approximately 3 days to complete. The work zone runs from just south of Lock Haven, north for approximately 2.7 miles and also includes a section from McElhattan to Avis.
After the long term traffic control is down, the contractor will have daylight traffic control in place until the project is complete.
Traffic control at the Mill Hall interchange for work on the two Route 2015 (Mill Hall Road) bridges between Route 220 and Route 150 will continue under daylight flagging.
Begun in 2014, this project will enhance the ride quality of the roadway surface and extend the useful life of pavement over 7.5 miles of roadway. The work was made possible by Act 89.
Work includes patching and overlay, bridge repairs, guide rail updates, shoulder work, strip seal dams and miscellaneous items. Ramps at Salona, Mill Hall, Lock Haven, McElhattan, and Avis have also seen improvements along with improvements on a small section of Route 477 (Long Run Road) near Salona and bridge work on Route 2015 (Mill Hall Road) near Mill Hall.
HRI, Inc. of State College is the contractor on this $17.3 million project, which is expected to continue through late this year. PennDOT reminds motorists to use caution in work zones, obey posted speed limits and always buckle up. Drivers will need to pay particular attention to these areas of construction.
