Work will include patching, Superpave overlay, drainage, and new guiderail, as well as the construction of a new turning lane at the intersection of Route 108 and Route 173. Traffic control will include single lane restrictions and flaggers. The project extends from the interchange of Route 108 and Interstate 79 to Route 8. Work is expected to be completed by November 2020. Crews from Shields Asphalt Paving of Valencia, PA will conduct the work and the project will cost $3,144,529. Work on this project will be in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and state Department of Health guidance as well as a project-specific COVID-19 safety plan, which will include protocols for social distancing, use of face coverings, personal and job-site cleaning protocols, management of entries to the jobsite, and relevant training. PennDOT urges motorists to slow down when driving in work zones, and also to be alert to changing conditions, avoid distractions and to pay attention to signs and flaggers.
