​Indiana, PA – As construction season begins to kick in throughout the region, PennDOT District 10 is reminding motorists to be alert to changes throughout the construction zone on Oakland Avenue (State Route 286) in White Township, Indiana County.

Crews from Gulisek Construction, LLC of Mount Pleasant, PA will be continuing work within the project area.  This spring, motorists will see work in the vicinity of Walmart and Aldi with traffic lane changes expected.

Traffic lane changes, closures, or other impacts to motorists will be shared as the project progresses.

The work is part of the $19.83 million Route 286/U.S. 422 widening and resurfacing project which includes the widening of Route 286 and the U.S. 422 interchange, replacement of the bridge over McCarthy Run Creek, and the installation of sidewalks along Route 286. Other work includes drainage and guide rail upgrades and traffic signal replacements.

The project is estimated to be completed in December 2023.  The timeline was extended approximately one month from November 2023 due to the COVID shutdown.

Motorists can check conditions on major roadways by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.
