Initial work in 2017 will feature the removal of existing storm drain lines. Traffic control will consist of short-term lane closures and alternating traffic patterns controlled by flaggers.
On April 4, long-term lane closures controlled by temporary traffic signals will be implemented.
The work zone stretches along Route 6 from West Street to Ludwig Lane. One lane of traffic will be maintained at all times, with an alternating traffic pattern controlled by traffic signals. Opposing traffic will use short, local detours. Availability of parking in the downtown area will be reduced. Drivers should also be prepared for travel delays in and around Coudersport.
Overall work will include roadway reconstruction, drainage improvements, bridge rehabilitation, traffic signal upgrades, water line relocation, pavement markings, and miscellaneous items.
All work is weather and schedule dependent. Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. of State College is the contractor on this $4.8 million project, which will continue through November.
