PennDOT High Friction Surface Application to Affect Traffic at Rt 26/45 Intersection Starting August 3, 2023

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) alerted drivers that work on a high friction surface application project impacting routes in Cameron, Centre, Clearfield, Clinton, and Elk counties gets underway Thursday, August 3. These applications will increase the longevity of recently built or rehabilitated infrastructure and improve skid resistance to enhance safety for motorists at the application sites.

Crews will start work Thursday, August 3, at Routes 26/45 intersection approximately 1.5 miles north of Pine Grove Mills in Ferguson Township, Centre County.

While they apply the high friction surface treatments, drivers should expect to encounter flaggers in the roadway providing traffic control. PennDOT urges drivers to build extra travel time into their schedules as it expects short travel delays.
