Clearfield, Pa. – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that a highway resurfacing project on Route 477 in Clinton County will continue next week. This project will improve the ride quality and extend the life of the roadway.
On Tuesday, July 2, rock benching will be performed to stabilize the shoulder on Route 477 (Long Run Road) between the bridge spanning Long Run in Lamar Township and Brungard Road in Green Township. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control during daylight hours. Drivers should anticipate short travel delays during daylight hours while work takes place. PennDOT urges drivers to exercise caution, to be alert for construction vehicles making sudden stops, and not to follow construction vehicles into the closed lane as they deliver material.
This work is expected to take two weeks, with paving to follow. PennDOT will announce the paving schedule at a later date. Motorists are reminded that the contractor has already removed guide rail along this corridor to prepare for this work and are asked to use caution in the area.
This project is part of a group paving job also intended to improve roadways in Centre County including:
- Route 45 (Shingletown Road)
- Route 144 (Snow Shoe Mountain Road) in Snow Shoe Township.
- Route 445 (Pike Road) in Walker Township
- Route 9109 (approaching South Atherton Street from Shingletown Road)
Overall work on this project includes highway resurfacing, drainage improvements, guide rail replacement, pavement marking, and miscellaneous construction. Glenn O. Hawbaker Inc. of State College is the contractor on this $5 million project. PennDOT anticipates completion in November. All work is weather and schedule dependent.
