A temporary
run-around will be in place to move traffic around the work zone. Crews will be
removing the existing surface on Friday, August 25 and paving the new surface
on Monday, August 28. Some work will also take place on Saturday, August 26. No
work is expected on Sunday, August 27, although weather and work progress could
change work plans.
During the week of
September 5, the WNYPA Railroad will be upgrading the existing railroad warning
devices at this location. Upgrades will include new gates, flashing lights, and
circuitry. This work is expected to be complete in one week. During the device
upgrade work, motorists could encounter flaggers in the roadway, enforcing an
alternating traffic pattern. Paving work and device upgrade work will take
place during daylight hours. All work is weather dependent. PennDOT and the
WNYPA Railroad remind drivers to approach the railroad crossing and work area
with caution and to “Always expect a train”.
