(WJET/WFXP)– With construction season ramping up, PennDOT has started on their plans to make safety improvements on Routes 18, 832, and 197 in Erie County.
PennDOT started on Monday with the goal of being done by October to make repairs to the road, milling, high friction surface treatment, and pavement markings, adding that drivers should expect some delays.
About half a mile of Route 18 south of the I-90 interchange, Route 197 in Summit Twp., just south of Townshall Road to Marsh Road and Route 832 in Fairview Twp., from Nissen Road to West Road and West Road to Rick Road, are all set to be worked on.
During construction hours, PennDOT said drivers should be ready for lane restrictions, with traffic controlled by flaggers and no detours.
The project is projected to cost $728,731.65 and will be paid for using federal funds.
