The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is informing motorists of ramp closures and a detour beginning Monday, June 3, 2024, as part of the next phase of the Route-PA 56 (Johnstown Expressway) Exit and Entrance Ramp Rehabilitation Project in Cambria County. 

From June 3, 2024, through June 14, 2024, both the entrance and exit ramps connecting north bound U.S. 219 with Route-PA 56 (Johnstown Expressway) will be closed. A traffic detour using Solomon Run Road and Galleria Drive will be in place until June 14.  

The work represents the next phase of the Route-PA 56 (Johnstown Expressway) Exit and Entrance Ramp Rehabilitation Project, located in Richland and Stoneycreek townships and the City of Johnstown, which includes rehabilitation of the traveled roadway, replacing and upgrading of existing guiderail and drainage systems and preservation of four structures. Quaker Sales in Johnstown is the general contractor for the two-year, $14.7 million project.
