DUBOIS – Work to improve Route 255 near the Interstate 80 DuBois/101 interchange is continuing. When work completes in mid-October, a smoother roadway surface and new traffic signals at the I-80 ramps will provide area drivers with more efficient travel and improved traffic flow.
The week of Aug. 19 will feature the following activity:
- The contractor will be working on drainage along Route 255 in the three-lane area. The three lanes will be flagged but the center lane and one outside travel lane will be used for northbound and southbound traffic. No major travel delays are expected but short delays may be possible during times of high-volume traffic.
PennDOT reminds drivers to remain alert and proceed through the work zone with caution. Normal work hours are 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. each weekday.
Overall work on Route 255 will include milling and paving, bridge deck repair, cleaning and upgrading of pipe culverts and inlets, water-line extension, and installation of new traffic signals at the I-80 ramps.
All work is weather and schedule dependent. Work is scheduled to end by mid-October of this year. New Enterprise Stone and Lime Inc. is the contractor on this $3.4 million project.
