STATE COLLEGE - Centre County Maintenance crews will postpone shoulder-cutting operations along the two-lane section of Route 322 between Potters Mills and Boalsburg for the remainder of this week to avoid impacting traffic bound for Penn State University's Ag Progress Days.
According to a news release from Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, shoulder-cutting removes excess material and debris from unpaved shoulders, improves drainage, and allows water to leave the roadway, which lessens the potential for icing conditions that are hazardous to drivers, weaken pavement, and cause the formation of potholes during winter months.
Maintenance crews will implement a daytime detour for westbound traffic starting at 8:30 a.m. Monday, Aug. 14. Flaggers in the roadway will direct through traffic off Route 322 at Sand Mountain Road, and drivers will follow Route 2015 (Sand Mountain Road) to Route 144, Route 144 to Route 45, and Route 45 back to Route 322. Flaggers will permit local traffic access to their homes. Crews will reopen both lanes by 3 p.m. each afternoon.
Eastbound traffic driving toward Lewistown will pass through the work zone under flagging conditions. PennDOT urges drivers to build extra time into their travel schedules, obey posted speed limits in this and all work zones, and always buckle up.
PennDOT anticipates implementing the daytime detour Monday, Aug. 14, through Wednesday, Aug. 17. All work is weather and schedule dependent.STATE COLLEGE - Centre County Maintenance crews will postpone shoulder-cutting operations along the two-lane section of Route 322 between Potters Mills and Boalsburg for the remainder of this week to avoid impacting traffic bound for Penn State University's Ag Progress Days.
