STATE COLLEGE -- Field investigations for the proposed State College Area Connector project will begin the week of Nov. 2 in Harris Township, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
PennDOT said crews will use drilling rigs to collect soil and rock samples along the preferred route of the proposed highway improvements. The testing will help engineers evaluate underground conditions as design work continues.
The investigations will be limited to areas within the footprint of the proposed improvements and are expected to continue into early 2027, weather permitting.
Motorists traveling Route 322 could encounter overnight shoulder closures during off-peak hours when drilling takes place near the existing roadway.
