Closure of Phoenix Road to be implemented July 17
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has issued an update on a project that will see improvements to more than 22 miles of roadway surface in Centre and Clinton counties.
Work scheduled for the coming week is as follows:
Construction of a retaining wall on Route 3036 (Phoenix Road) near Osceola Mills will begin Wednesday, July 17. A closure will be implemented while this work is completed, and traffic will follow an official detour using Route 3049 (Edendale Road).
Motorists familiar with the area may consider alternate routes. Residents living along Phoenix Road will be able to access their homes during this closure.
The contractor will continue adjusting drainage inlets on Route 2018 (Woodward Cave Road) near the Woodward Sports Camp and the intersection with Route 45 Monday, July 15, through Wednesday, July 17. Traffic impacts will be minimal.
Overall work will include milling, installation of ADA compliant ramps and retaining wall updates on sections of fourteen routes in Centre County and one route in Clinton County. All work is weather and schedule dependent.
Other Centre County roads in this project include:
- Route 144 near the Intersection with Route 150
- Route 150 from Route 3006 (High Street) to Route 144
- Route 550 from Spring Street to the Bellefonte High School
- Route 2002 (Airport Road)
Clinton County roads in this project include:
- Route 150 from Fishing Creek to Henderson Street
HRI Inc. of State College is the contractor on this $4.1 million project, which is expected to be finished by late October. PennDOT will issue updates on this project as work locations change.
