Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) alerted motorists that a highway resurfacing project in Clinton County will start Monday, July 10. This project will improve the ride quality and extend the life of four sections of Interstate 80 between mile markers 190 and 193 near Loganton and Carroll in Greene Township, Clinton County.

The contractor will reduce traffic to a single lane and reduce the speed limit. PennDOT urges drivers to exercise caution, to be alert for construction vehicles making sudden stops, and not to follow construction vehicles into the closed lane as they deliver material.

Overall work on this project includes roadway paving and bridge approach slab repairs. Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc., of State College, PA, is the contractor on this $3.5 million project. PennDOT anticipates completion in late October, but all work is weather dependent.
