STATE COLLEGE – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is alerting drivers that a long-term, daylight lane closure on Atherton Street will start this week.
Beginning Monday, Aug. 10, Glenn O. Hawbaker Inc. will perform roadway work for a turn lane associated with the building of the Penn State University West Campus Parking Garage.
The road work will require a daytime closure of the right, eastbound lane on Atherton Street between Curtin Road and White Course Drive. Drivers may experience travel delays through this area.
The lane closure will be removed each weekday when work is finished. Work hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
This work is not part of PennDOT’s Atherton Street improvement project. PennDOT has issued proper permitting to the contractor for their roadway work, which is scheduled through October.
PennDOT reminds drivers that they can subscribe to PennDOT news in Cameron, Centre, Clearfield, Clinton, Elk, Juniata, McKean, Mifflin and Potter counties at www.penndot.gov/District2.
