Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that it reduced the speed limit on a stretch of the Buffalo Pittsburgh Highway (Route 219) in Lafayette Township, McKean County, to 45 miles per hour. This reduction will enhance safety through an ongoing bridge preservation work zone.

Preservation work on the Staff Sergeant Carl Enis Memorial Bridge, which spans Kinzua Creek approximately three miles south of the intersection with Route 59, started Monday, April 22. The contractor is maintaining two open lanes while completing this work. However, the contractor has reduced the width of these lanes to accommodate construction crews. PennDOT urges drivers to obey the posted speed limit in this and all work zones and always buckle up.

Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. of State College, PA, is the contractor on this $2.4 million project.
