Closure Scheduled for Flower Road in Summit Township
A portion of Flower Road (Route 4008) and the Flower Road entrance to the Erie County Technical School will be closed starting July 13 as work continues on the five-leg roundabout in Summit Township, Erie County.
Flower Road will be closed at the intersection with Hamot Road and Oliver Road. A 4.5-mile detour will be posted using Reichert Road (Route 4013), Dunn Valley Road (Route 4013), and Oliver Road. It is expected to be in place for 15 days, weather permitting.
Construction of the roundabout is being done in seven phases, which include milling, paving, sidewalks, ADA curb ramps, drainage improvements, environmental mitigation, lighting, vegetation replacement, and pavement markings.
Additional short-term detours and traffic pattern shifts will be needed throughout the project. 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. Drive responsibly in work zones for your safety and the safety of the workers.
