Clearfield, PA - The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) updated drivers on a project to improve approximately five miles of Route 522 in Lewistown Borough and Derry and Decatur townships in Mifflin County. This work will address drainage deficiencies throughout this corridor and improve the ride quality of the road surface and multiple structures within the project limits.
There is no work scheduled on Monday, September 9. Starting Tuesday, September 10, through Friday, September 13, flaggers in the roadway will enforce single-lane closures while the contractor stabilizes low shoulders with fill material for the entire length of the project between Lewistown Borough and the intersection of Guss Road in Decatur Township.
PennDOT urges drivers to build extra time into their travel schedules as delays are probable when work is ongoing, to watch for slow-moving and stopped vehicles within the work zone, to exercise caution while traveling through work zones, obey posted speed limits, and always buckle up.
Overall work on this project involves roadway reconstruction, paving, drainage improvements, guide rail installation, pavement marking, bridge preservation work, and miscellaneous construction. Grannas Bros. Stone & Asphalt Co., Inc. is the contractor on this $6.2 million project. PennDOT anticipates project completion in late October. All work is weather-dependent.
