PennDOT says a new traffic pattern will take effect next week in the Route 119 Grove Chapel Climbing Lane project in Rayne Township.
Most of the summer has been spent working at the top of the hill in the area of Musser Nursery, but now, PennDOT says that starting next Wednesday, weather permitting, traffic will be shifted onto the new Route 119 alignment between Musser Road and Rayne Township School Drive.
As part of the switch, traffic will be detoured off Kimmel Road, using 119 and Dehaven Road, as crews prepare to reconstruct the 119/Kimmel Road intersection.
The three-year $16 million project involves the construction of a truck climbing lane, realignment of horizontal and vertical curves and the installation of left turn lanes. It’s scheduled for completion next summer.
