Bootjack Hill Work to Start Soon

Roadway resurfacing work is set to start in late April on Route 219 along the “Bootjack” section of the highway, south of Ridgway.

Weather permitting, Phase 1 of the project will begin on Monday, April 26. The first phase of the job will stretch from the Royal Drive-in to the truck bypass. PennDOT expects Phase 1 work to be complete in mid-May. Drivers can expect changing traffic patterns through the work zone, with flaggers in place. All work is currently scheduled to take place during daylight hours Monday through Friday.

Phase 2 of the project will stretch north from the truck bypass to the intersection of Main and Depot Streets. Phase 2 will feature a traffic detour and PennDOT will provide a project update close to the beginning of that phase.

Overall work will include guide rail updates, barrel replacement on the emergency truck runoffs, signage updates and roadway resurfacing. H.R.I. Inc. of State College is the contractor on this $920,000 job. PennDOT expects all work to be complete in July.
