PennDOT’s Indiana County outreach day to outline this year’s construction projects is not until next month, but the agency has announced some major road construction jobs on the schedule.
The District 10 schedule covers Indiana, Armstrong, Butler, Clarion, and Jefferson counties. Major construction projects in Indiana County will include the repaving of Route 422 through the Shelocta area, at a price tag of $4.3 million; new asphalt as well for the Route 119 Bypass in White Township, which is estimated at $2 million to $5 million; the “Cunningham Culverts replacement projects, which will cost between $5 million and $7.5 million; new box culverts on Route 286 over the North Branch of Two Lick Creek, at $2.5 million; and a $4.2 million preventive maintenance project on the Route 22 Bypass in Armagh.
Work is also scheduled to get underway at some point on the multi-season Oakland Avenue widening project, which is technically titled the “Route 286/422 Interchange North” project. It’s estimated at a total cost of $10 million to $15 million.
Additional ongoing work will include the conclusion of the $15.2 million Homer City Three Bridges project, which has been going on for three years and the completion of the three-year $16 million Route 119 Grove Chapel Hill climbing lane project in Rayne Township. Work has already started on an improvement project on Route 119 in Home, headed northward toward Marion Center.
