Construction got underway in April to reconstruct Route 1005 (Valley Street) between Ort Valley Road and the 5 Points Intersection in Lewistown Borough, Mifflin County.
This highway resurfacing project will extend the life of a deteriorating roadway surface approximately one mile in length. It also includes drainage improvements and the installation of new sidewalks and ADA compliant curb ramps.
Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control throughout the summer. Work on this project will carry over into the 2024 construction season.
Cost: $5.4 million

1001/C01 (Farrandsville Road)
This project designed to provide safe pedestrian access to River View Park from the Veteran’s Bridge in Woodward Township, Clinton County, kicked off in March of this year. Upon completion, the project will enhance motorists’ safety by realigning the roadway away from the existing rock cut.
Work during the 2023 construction season includes building a temporary causeway on the Susquehanna riverbank to serve as a work platform for the construction of an 800-foot retaining wall.
Temporary traffic signals are enforcing an alternating traffic pattern at the work site. Work on this project will carry over into the 2024 construction.
Cost: $7.4 million

The third phase of the Atherton Street highway reconstruction effort kicked off in July 2022. This work zone stretches from Curtin Road to just north of Westerly Parkway in the State College region of Centre County. A portion of the project is a streetscape beautification projection done in coordination with State College Borough.
Overall work on this three-year project includes roadway reconstruction, drainage improvements, new water and sewer line installation, and pouring of new sidewalks with detectable warning surfaces and ADA compliant curb ramps.
Traffic control consists of periods of flagging and short-term detours. Construction will carry through to the end of 2024 construction season.
