Coudersport, PA – As work continues on a Route 6 project in Coudersport,
the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is alerting area
drivers to a short-term closure on Route 6—scheduled for next week.
Route 6 (Main Street) in downtown Coudersport will be closed Monday and
Tuesday, October 16 and 17 so that crews can pour the deck on the new
bridge superstructure. Traffic using Route 6 will be detoured onto local streets
(Oak Street and Mill Street) during the closure. PennDOT expects to re-open
Route 6 sometime Tuesday afternoon, if work progress allows for it.
Drivers needing to park in the downtown area will need to use side streets.
Travel delays during the closure are possible.
Begun in 2016, this two-year project will result in an improved roadway
surface through downtown Coudersport as well as sidewalk improvements and bridge
repairs. Overall work on the project includes roadway reconstruction, drainage
improvements, bridge rehabilitation, traffic signal upgrades, water line
relocation, pavement markings, and miscellaneous items.
Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. of State College is the contractor on this $4.8
million project, which will continue through November. All work is weather and schedule dependent.
