Traffic Changes Will Start on Route 53 as Part of Route 22 Interchanges Work in Cambria County
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today announced that Gulisek Construction, LLC., of Mount Pleasant, PA, will change the traffic pattern on Wednesday, April 27, for a new phase of rehabilitation work currently taking place on several interchanges along Route 22 in Cambria, Munster, Cresson and Allegheny townships in Cambria County.
On Wednesday, the contractor will set up a barrier and temporary traffic signals on Route 53 (West Second Street), 1.5-miles north of Lilly Borough. Traffic will be reduced to a single lane through this area and controlled by the traffic signal for approximately 30 days. Minor delays are possible, and motorists are advised to use caution driving through the work zone.
Work to be performed at this time includes replacement of the approach slab along a two-mile stretch of Route 53 (West Second Street).
This multi-year project involves minor drainage work, concrete patching, and thin lift asphalt overlay on the Gallitzin, Munster and Lake Rowena interchanges and drainage work and milling and paving on the West Ebensburg interchange. Additionally, the existing concrete roadway on Route 1036 and 2014 (Rowena Interchange), will be removed and new PCCP will be constructed along with S-40080 expansion dam replacement and sub structure repairs. Thin lift overlay will occur at multiple locations on Route 22 between West Ebensburg and Gallitzin, where overhead structures are present.
Work for the 2022 construction season will wrap at the end of November, while all work on this $6.5 million project is expected to be completed by July 2023.
