The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is alerting drivers that roadway improvement work in Potter County will move to Route 49 next week.
Beginning as early as Tuesday, August 28, crews will begin roadway milling along a 17 mile stretch--from the Coudersport end to Harrison Valley.
This will be a moving operation with traffic controlled by flaggers in the roadway enforcing an alternating traffic pattern. Drivers should expect delays as work takes place.
The milling work is expected to take about a week and will be followed by paving until
mid-September.
Overall work includes milling, roadway repair, ADA ramps, and paving. A small amount of drainage work is also planned along Route 49.
Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. of State College, PA is the contractor on this $5.1 million job, which is expected to be complete by October. All work is weather and schedule dependent.
PennDOT reminds drivers to be cautious in work zones, obey posted speed limits, and always buckle up.
