STATE COLLEGE–The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is providing a late-March update on gas line utility work on South Atherton Street in State College.
Please be aware of the following, the week of March 21:
- Lane shifts are expected in the area of Westerly Parkway as Columbia Gas continues gas line relocation work.
This utility relocation work is part of the next phase of roadway improvement work on Atherton Street. Work on this new section will begin later this year and will be similar to work done on the previous project.
The previous phase was completed in 2020 and featured phased work zones stretching from Aaron Drive to Park Avenue.
Work included the relocation of numerous utilities, water, and sewer lines. It also included drainage improvements, curbing, sidewalk and ADA compliant ramp installation, traffic signal upgrades, a new concrete median and paving.
