The summer of roadwork in Lock Haven continues

LOCK HAVEN, PA – First comes the milling, then comes the paving, part of a massive resurfacing project for state highways through Lock Haven this summer (and fall).

A milling crew was out bright and early on Susquehanna Avenue Tuesday. That section of highway and N. Fairview Street from the “college” intersection to Bellefonte Avenue will see milling work this week, preparatory to paving next week:

Daytime, single-lane closures will be used, controlled by roadway flagging for this week’s work.

PennDOT has announced the work is just part of improvements for multiple state routes to follow:

• Route 664 (Coudersport Pike) from Race Track Road to Roundhouse Road
• Route 150 (Church Street) from Monument to the Constitution bridge
• Route 1002 (Island Route Road) from Clarks Barn Road to Island Road
• Route 2012 (Paul Mack Boulevard) from Allison Street to Logan Avenue
• Route 4001 (Kettle Creek Road) from near Hammersley Fork to Route 144

The work is part of a $6.9 million project to improve more than 24 miles of roadway in Centre and Clinton counties. PennDOT will issue updates as work progress requires.

Overall work will include milling, placement of binder and wearing courses, final paving, joint repairs, pipe lining and pipe replacement, guide rail updates, signal upgrades, ADA ramp replacement, pavement markings, and miscellaneous construction.

Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. of State College, PA, is the contractor on this project. PennDOT expects completion to occur in mid-November.
