The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has reopened State Route 53 between Portage and Lilly, Cambria County.
The road had been closed since April 3 when heavy rain and stormwater eroded the soil under the road, causing portions of the shoulder to fall away. The damaged portion of the road has been repaired and all detours have been lifted.
Motorists are encouraged to “Know Before They Go" by checking conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles 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.
511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional Twitter alerts.
