​Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that a highway resurfacing project on Route 219 in Elk County is scheduled to continue in Ridgway on Thursday, July 11, and Friday, July 12, depending upon weather. This work will improve safety and ride quality for motorists traveling on the corridor.

The contractor is scheduled to perform roadway milling and resurfacing on Route 219 in Ridgway at the Depot Street intersection at the bottom of Bootjack Hill. Temporary lane closures will be implemented and flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control during daylight hours. Motorists are advised to be alert for sudden stops. Motorists are asked to use caution in the area, to be prepared for traffic delays, and not to follow trucks into the closed lane as they deliver material.  

Work at this site is expected to be completed by July 12. All work is weather dependent.

This work is part of a larger project that has included resurfacing Route 219 in the Lewis Run area in McKean County, and between Ridgway and Johnsonburg in Elk County.

This project involves roadway reconstruction, paving, drainage improvements, installation of guiderail, placement of pavement markings, and related tasks. Glenn O. Hawbaker is the contractor on this $5.2 million project.
